Original by C S Waterfall. Year a guess. It is a Leeds UAS aircraft still carrying its old 16 RFS 51 code with the image probably taken between July 1953 and sometime in 1956 prior to/after servicing at Derby. Written off in a fatal accident on 12 April 1957. It spun into the ground in the grounds of Harwood House Yorkshire during aerobatics, killing its cadet pilot.
