I thought you all might like to see the one and only time I’ve ever photographed WL405. I took this from an RAE Wessex over Farnborough on 10th September 1970 during a press sortie during the SBAC show. Of course we took off from the RAE side where photography was prohibited, but once airborne anything was fair game and this was parked near our lift-off point!

A stunning picture of her there Adrian. Any chance I could get a hi-res copy from you for my records?

Interesting to note the nose cone. Maybe one from a diff aircraft?
