There was another metal fence (forming the airfield boundary) of similar construction to the one seen just behind the photographer, who is standing only a few yards from where I crash landed Sedburgh VX275 on 17 May 1967 in the field outside the airfield boundary.
I'm fairly sure the Beaufighter had gone by then as we pulled the metal rail fence out of the ground to create a gap to tow the glider back onto the airfield and if the Beau had still been there, we wouldn't have had room for this.
