Looks like this evening but no proof - although the camera never lies?

It is 61-0001/MT, 69BS - a fellow FC'r shot it at the West end when it vacated the runway and showed me the image.

2nd reported visit George. May have been missed during Fairfords B-47 days which ended in mid 1964. Almost non-existent weekday coverage back then unfortunately.
