I have just seen a photo on another forum (Farnborough Proboards – Hawarden thread) of the port main gear shorter than the starboard after a landing at Hawarden yesterday. Not too sure what damage was sustained?
Taken at Luton sometime between 1954 and 1958 at the Percival Rally Luton airport (whatever that was) with WV614 in the foreground and G-AGTC just visible behind.
RAE used it for private flying, that Tiger Moth was also present then. Locals from Bedford used the airfield back then to teach folk to drive off the public highway.
My uncle was a police officer back then and Twinwood Farm was on his ‘patch’. When I used to stay with him, I got a great tour of the local airfields inc Little Staughton and Castle Mill. The best mind you was Thurleigh, with BOAC 707s and VC10s bashing the circuit.
