Been delving through some scans and thought I'd share a few of what I found.

115 Sqd Andovers were rarely welcome guests as they could hog the circuit for ages when on calibration duties. Fortunately this came in to land.

Not long left for the Lightning in squadron service so a welcome visitor.

Just to confuse matters, ZE256 and ZE735 were both carrying the same tail code on this visit.
