I'm sure this is the same aircraft that was at RAF Andover when I was there between 1st August, 1958 and 1st December, 1959. It was then positioned within the main site on the north side of Monxton Road, west of HQ 41 Group. It appears to have been moved to the south side on Monxton Road when the picture was taken. In the background "B" Block can be seen. This and "A" Block still stand but are now linked togther in the centre where the abblutions were situated and appear to be offices. Now on display in Pottery museum, Stoke On Trent.
