LOL!

Sorry to be pedantic but it's actually PN323 set up as a rig H-P used at
Radlett for aviaonics testing. It sat on the airfield and was easily
visible from the railway line from St. Pancras. Its nose was later at
IWM Lambeth, and is currently at Duxford while Lambeth is being refurbished.

Oops! I looked at this photo before I saw Joseph's other picture of PN323.

Thanks for the information Peter. If my maternal grandmother was still
alive I'd have asked her - she was Handley Page's first female aircraft
inspector at Cricklewood during the war.
