Having been at Sunderland since retirement by the RAF in 1.69, sadly this 1950-vintage Valetta in the care of the North East Aircraft Museum was destroyed by fire in an arson attack in 1.97, leaving only two of the type in existence This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
