Any idea when that picture was taken? If '662 was the Farnborough T7, that was written off in mid '75. If it was Llanbedr's aircraft, the Llanbedr callsign changed from Nugget to TeeBird when the operation was contractorised which was about '91.
By the way, the first pic was not taken at Farnborough; that type of hangar door was not used on any hangar I remember, so I would think it was Cambridge.
