I am sure this photo came from Vickers, but this does not seem right. Built in 1955, and appeared at the 1955/6/7 Farnborough shows. It was always operated as a trials aircraft for a long range version of the Sea Hawk owned by the Controller (Air) but probably operated by the manufacturers as well as government agencies. Sold back to Armstrong Whitworth in January 1958, and later scrapped.
