Anyone able to date the above photo? I'll try but I stand to be corrected as usual. The nearest Brit looks like one of the ex-Eagle machines that sat around during 1969/1970. I have G-AOVK present from March 1969 until Feb 1970 when it was scrapped and G-ARXA from March 1970 until getting scrapped Nov 1970. The length of the shadows indicates it's probably summer (in spite of the lady in what looks like a winter coat). The right edge of the picture has hangar 89 just visible which probably indicates 1970 rather than 1969 when the initial construction began. I remember the hangar was structurally complete by the summer of 1970, although not in use until October that year.
