The chap walking in front is F/O Bill Dann of 1476 (Rayleigh) Squadron ATC who led the team which retrieved the cockpit section of Lightning F.1 XG325, from P&EE Foulness in June 1972. WH739 went to 19MU at St. Athan where it was S.O.C. 27th July 1976. The cockpit section was saved and was still with 2475 Squadron ATC at Ammanford, Carmarthenshire in 2021.
