Question Currie Wot G-APNT

A recent article in Aeroplane Monthly covered this and another Wot, but didn't go into much detail on 'NT after the early 60s, subsequent to its ownership by Harald Penrose. Now I have a photo of it at a Sunderland Air Day display in 1966 (I don't have a working scanner - sorry chaps!) and I'm sure it was in the hangar there when I was taking lessons in '81. At this time I believe it was owned by ex-Lanc pilot Les (Meadows, possibly?). Does anyone know anything which can confirm and enlarge upon this?

G-APNT was based at Sunderland for a number of years, owned by Les Richardson.

I am sure that someone can provide more details.

Best wishes

Looks as though it has almost come home to its place of birth. Watched it being built forty eight years ago at Eastleigh.
