Ed Lyon has been kind enough to send me some photos including this shot of WJ649 upside down and with u/c lowered after its tragic accident. The red arrow shows the direction of travel as it came in on finals to land.

Incidentally Ed was a young ATC cadet at Bassingbourn on summer camp and was actually flying in a Chipmunk behind ‘649 on that fateful day, and saw the whole thing happen in front of him. Needless to say he was extremely shocked. Two days later he got to fly in the station flight Anson VL306 (from where the photo was taken) AND won the award of a short flight in Canberra B.2 WJ714. That must of been some summer camp!
