David Harris, e-mail, 16.02.2011 00:12 I do indeed have a photograph. The Army registration for the aircraft was XP254 reply | David Harris, e-mail, 23.02.2010 01:18 I believe the aircraft in the photo is actually the Beagle Mk Eleven, three seater AOP that first flew in 1961. I saw it at Shoreham Airport at that time...I believe I actually have a phograph of it somwhere. reply |
