A friend and I were at LAP at about the same time as Laurence, and if I could find them I could show some very similar photos.
As a 15-year-old I should have kept better records, but I can say that the two of us went on to have careers in aviation - I with the manufacturer of those Comets and Colin with the RAF and later in civilian flying training.
ETA I found three photos from that day, and the two prints showing Comets are not up to much so won't include them here. That day a DH Dragon Rapide, G-AGUF, was flying joy-rides from next to the spectators' enclosure.
