Flying or on the ground,

This, I believe, is a T7 ? Whilst it is not my photo, I have daily contact with the owner, and I am sure he would not mind your using it .....

I might be able to source you a picture of VZ634 at NAM if it's of any help!

That's a lovely pic Keith, guessing it's at Kemble or Aston Down?

Wrong type of hangar for WZ, also looks like it's fresh out of one of the Meteor MUs.

Keith,
And all who have answered,

I like the pic, since it is rare to find a pic of the actual aircraft, I try to look for shots that do not show the serial or sqn codes.

Keith,
Could you ask your friend if I could use it please.

If anybody has advice on aircraft from WWII and copywrite, can you please advise!
Is the use of old photo'ssimply like maps, after 50 years you can use copies etc?

It's a long winded subject, but if you go to the search function, and put in old photographs copywrite you will find a thread or two on it!

BTW which actual T.7 have you got, or that you are trying to find pictures of?
