Hello,
The wartime photos in my book are from the BPA collection and are of the prototype Defiant. The colour ones from Hendon were taken back when it was far easier to arrange a visit, I think around 1988.
The Defiant Pilots Notes does contain some pictures. These can be viewed in the RAF Museum research library.
There are other publications, magazines with pictures from the Hendon Defiant N1671, such as an issue of Replic Feb96, SAM March91.
Let me know exactly what you want to see and assuming no copyright problem then I can send you a copy.

I once enquired of a person who was in the right business at the right time to see if a buried airframe story that I had heard was likely to be correct.He replied (as near as I can remember) as follows:-
“A lot of those stories may well be true,but you have to remember that a few years later ,when metal prices had risen,we hadn’t forgotten where
we’d buried the stuff.”
I have some levers from a throttle box – they look like Wellington/ Halifax/ Hampden type. They are stamped with a TAM inspectors stamp and have numbers with a 53, 51 and GR prefix – I wonder if they are ahndley page related items. Does anyone out there know…?
