I would think during storage before it went to Southend Historic Aircraft museum.
It ended up with The Rebel Air museum at Earls Coln Essex. before departing i think to Ireland. I also think it was stored down in the Fort museum in Tilbury.

Or Im thinking of another Scion.
As for a date for the photograph any time between the 60s and 70s as it is black and white.
Sorry not much help

Nice interesting item
