Thanks for that , Fournier. It brings back memories for me, as the leopard moth G-ACMN was the first a/c I ever controlled, in 1961, and there is also a pic of my Falco F8L G-ATAK, but not with me in it

Fascinating stuff. The Reid & Sigrist RS.3 Desford used for aerial mapping looks an interesting craft. With the camera operator in the prone position in the nose I wonder if the idea was derived from the prone position tests carried out with the converted Meteor now at Cosford or vice versa. Probably the two are completely unrelated.

It never fails to amaze me just how much history is associated with Coventry.
Sites like this are so fascinating...I keep going back and discovering new things
