I can confirm the aircraft is a Saab Lansen.

Its a Lansen; registration is G-BMSG as per Wrecks & Relics. The T-33 had straight wings.

I didn't know, don't have W&R, but my recognition didn't let me down

Wrecks and relics is about right - looked like she might be in a sorry state when we took off on Sunday.

I hope so, it's such a shame to see such an elegant cold-war classic rotting there.
