It’s a Dicky Six taking off. They tend to be close to the ground when they do that.

…or even too long.

But yes – ditto.

Well it would seem that I need to get my negatives scanned, because there’s not a sausage of those glorious 22 Sqn Walters on my hard drive.

Still, in the absence of that, here is another Manston photo which I took circa 1984:

Some would say it was for the best. Didn’t like those single-Gnome Whirlwinds.

And the Whirlwinds that were disposed of there by 18MU there are a lot more interesting than more bl**dy Spitfires.

Seconded!

Found it – however it doesn’t appear to relate to the incident you’re looking for:

F-84F 52-6544 of 522nd SFS/27th SFW, pilot 1/Lt John P Potter A02224951.
On 6th July 1955, time 0835Z to 1005Z his aircraft dropped six Mk.23 Mod.1, 3-lb practice bombs on T1 bomb rack near 53 degrees 17’ 47”N, 0 degrees 50’20”W, Rampton, Notts. No damage.

F-84F 52-6743 of 92nd FBS, pilot Maj. William E Charlson.
On 25th October 1955, his aircraft dropped 2 x 230-gal tanks and an M.21 shape, 20 miles NE of Great Yarmouth and one 450-gal tank 20 miles SE of Great Yarmouth after generator failure.

Second F-84F was in full ‘nuke’ config.
