This photo shows the final seconds of Lightning F1 XG332, which crashed while on appraoch to Hatfield on 13th September 1962.

The pilot survived (although he did come down in a greenhouse if I recall correctly).

Sadly I'm typing most of this from memory as my book with all the details in is on loan to a friend.

As you say, it is a well-known photo and larger versions are available ... I'll leave it to others to give examples as I couldn't find a copy when I looked.

Hope this helps,

HJC
