Photos of Venom WR552?

I have referred in various places to the Venom WR552 which crashed on the Saiq plateau in Oman in 1958, and is still up there. My last association with it was to lead a small group up to pay our respects to the pilot Owen Watkinson, just 50 years after his crash on 30 August 1958. Owen is buried alongside his aircraft.

I have never been able to locate any photos of WR552. It was built in 1955 and was with 8 Sqd RAF at the time of its loss. I wonder if anyone has a picture of it at any time of its career. I am researching a history of RAF Sharjah, where Owen took off, and anything would be very helpful.

Thanks
Laurence
