All those over 35 take a…

… 12 hour penalty.

Here is a shot I took 35 years ago.

It is another of the ‘biscuit tin’ negatives.

Putnams at the ready, who can tell us what it is and what happened to it?

The type 545 first prototype XA181 was more than 80% complete when Ministry support was withdrawn in 1954, on the pretext of the ending of the Korean War. There is another photo of it at Cranfield on page 397 of “The British Fighter” 1992 edition by Francis K Mason.

Does anyone know the date and circumstances of this aircraft being scrapped? Also how complete was it?

If Y11F is wrong, could it be one of those French fighters from the Fifties (looks a bit like a Mystere, but isn’t)?
