Here's a pre-69 picture that I picked up of eBay.



XP633/41 took place in the 1968 "Freedom of York" flight, here it is shown at the back of the closest box.


And here are the above pilots pictured on her.



The aircraft was repainted for the 1969 season in the new RAF colours & given the "Linton GIN" logo on it's Tip Tanks.
This photo was taken by & © Philip Pain, at the Upper Heyford Show in June 1969.


Here's Steve Bond's photo from Denham 1969, showing XP633/41 on the grass



This photo is from Willy Metze, showing XP633/41 at an unknown show
