THUM Flight Meteor VZ508

The civilian THUM Flight, operated by Short Bros and Harland, was based at Woodvale during the 1950s. The unit operated with Spitfires until 10 June 1957, when they were replaced by Mosquitoes.

The last operational sortie by a Mosquito was flown on 1 May 1959, but prior to this a Meteor F8, VZ508, was trialed to see if the type was suitable for the THUM role. I’m seeking a photograph of this aircraft and wonder if anyone could help?
