Registration records show that the aircraft was purchased in June 1954 by the wife of a pilot (Ladi Marmol) based at Southend (Rochford) Municipal Airport. It was transferred into the ownership of Marmols company (Air âAdsâ Limited) later the same month. Marmol operated the aircraft from June 1954 until it was destroyed in June 1955. The hangar in the background appears to bear the name of Aviation Traders, a Southend based aircraft spares and airframe conversion company owned and operated by Freddie Laker, indicating also a location of Southend.
