Photo Comment

Taken on charge in 7.52 and seen in store with 5MU after service with 5 FTS at RAF Oakington. Interestingly this machine had been used along with WL679 at Farnborough in the early 1960s on 'Airborne Rafter' trials in which MI5 attempted to track the radios of KGB agents in Britain using technology similar to TV detectors. Broken up and removed next year
