Another of my old "Brownie 127" photos. Carries "Royal Air Force Transport Command" titles plus an 'FCS'(Ferry Communication Squadron?) diamond(blue/yellow) on fin plus the Wallingford Coat of Arms behind cockpit. To 7858M and to the Colerne Museum. On the folding of the museum it went to the SAS training area at Ewyas Harold, Hereford.

One of my early photo's taken with a "Brownie 127" camera. Bit of a dull day so that didn't help! The a/c had just completed compass swings on the southern aerodrome boundary and was being towed back to 49 MU. Written Off 8th December 1965, when it crashed into the Moray Firth

According to the photographer this was the first movement off Runway 13 after the extension was opened. Note how there are no leading edge lift devices and also, compared to modern aircraft in this class, the large amount of take-off flap used. Also noticeable is the clean exhaust of this R-R Conway powered model compared to the smokey JT3D examples back then.
