Failsworth 7 May 1962.

Sea Hornet outer wings TT2.. Note both Stb., so off different aircraft. Note also wing section to the left of the second shot, could be an inner wing Sea Hornet section?. Myself and colleague GS logged three TT2.. wings, in addition to one wing from VV658, in addition to a lot of other stuff. I can’t remember how we got permission to get in, but we had free access for as long as we wanted. A never to be forgotten experience.

Coleys 1September 1962

XF833, Hunter, becoming Hawker P1083 and finally Hawker P1099. Would have been a world beating supersonic fighter years before the Lightning. The figures ‘833’ are visible on the fuselage on the original print, very faint on this format.

Yes, address was Mill Farm Works, Hanworth Road, Hounslow.

Coleys 1/9/62

The Tempest caption was incorrect. due to my inability to get a shot taken at Aldergrove to load. Sorry for any confusion. The Tempest was at Coleys, not Aldergrove.

Aldergrove, June 1960

Near the end for XD915, P/2 Squadron, one of the many 2 and 79 squadron FR5’s scrapped then, together with most of the Mk.7’s.
