I have posted this before but it was a scanned pic from a newspaper. This is from the Luton News Archive.
27 Feb 1952 Comet 1 G-ALYP flown into Luton (and landing on grass) by John Cunningham after fog obscured both Hatfield and Heathrow. It left the following afternoon.
On 10 Jan 1954 this aircraft was lost off Elba whilst en-route Rome Heathrow.
Luton Airport's 'new' control being constructed, the old tower is visible beneath the wing of the Comet. Avro York and two Percival Pembrokes in the background.
