The photo of the Valiant was,I think, taken from the balcony of Local Control (ATC) and I stand corrected -it was 242sqn with the Bloodhounds. We had a Valiant parked outside Operations and there was still an airworthy one at Boscombe Down which sometimes used Marham for practise diversions as late as 1968. Again I digress.
Incidentally, and I digress again, my first CAA FLt.Ops.Inspector in JEA was John Mitchell who was on the reserve Valiant at Christmas Island. Quite a character on ferry flights from De Havilland in Downsview.
