Wyvernfan - unfortunately no photos, just this imprinted memory of an, apparently, excessive amount of metal to get one person airborne!!
Chris Scott - depending on when you might have arrived at Thorney, the catering prospects could have been Country Club De-luxe ('50s) or NAAFI controlled awfulness ('60s).
Re. the Anson rudder, you could be right - at my age, if it's not in the foreground, I can't see it! From my few hours on the beast, and given the output of the Cheetah, one not working would have been a pretty daring adventure, methinks.
