I recently enquired about an abadoned Avenger I saw at Farnborough in, I think, 1957. I got some very helpful responses.
I have looked further through my pictures of that era. I apologise for their very poor quality, but they may bring back some memories to someone out there.
I took them, again I think at the time of the SBAC show in September 1957, near the ETPS. They show the prototype Varsity VX828, carrying its ETPS number 12. Also visible are various other aircraft, including Devon "2", which should be XA879. There is also a Viking or Valetta with its fin off, which might be the 4th prototype Viking VW218. Also a Gannet and a Meteor, probably NF11.
Can anyone confirm the year from these data? Thanks
