Pic taken of G-AMWA on the day it suffered an engine failure at Guernsey CI in September 1963
Extracted from the middle of a 2 1/4 inch slide that had suffered almost total colour fade..

Sad to see but a great find. I'm sure I've seen this or something similar in B&W and even though the colour is damaged, it does add a lot to what is a very sorry sight

I once showed a poor newspaper cutting on the test thread.

No injuries, but the single, posh American car was mashed.
