One of the most amazing aviation photos, ever. Jim Mead was a professional photographer who went to Hatfield with his kids to see his neighbour, De Havilland test pilot Bob Sowray, fly the Lightning. In the end it was not Sowray but George Aird who flew that day. The tractor driver was alarmed by the bang of him ejecting following an engine fire. Aird crashed into one of the greenhouses and survived. Photo by: Jim Mead / Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
