It looks like Hawarden to me. Can't tell for sure but i wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be G-ASKH/RR299.
Cheers
Shaun

Really nice, sharp and clear, a charming b&w.
The occasion was the Royal Aeronautical Society's Centenary 'Garden Party' at Woodford, 9th July 1966.
In addition to Mosquito RR299 (before the application of '266 Squadron' film camouflage and markings), the pale blue, civilian colours Spitfire 14 is G-ALGT and the Avro C.21 is VS562 of A&AEE - look carefully and spot the yellow 'P' within a yellow circle forward of the roundel, wartime style prototype markings. The early round-tail Apache has to be G-ARMA, the only other PA-23 I logged, G-ATJR of Northern Executive Aviation is an Aztec 250, with the larger fin.
You don't by any chance have a photo of the Mongolfier Hot Air Balloon Replica, G-ATWM, in flight do you - it was my highlight of the day. I'd love to see further photos of that air show, if you have more.

Anson T21 VS562 was the comms aircraft for RAE Llanbedr,the 'P' on the fuselage is because the aircraft was the prototype for the T21 version ,up to 5 years ago the remains of this aircraft were in the village of Llanbedr but the site was developed and built on so I don't know what happened to it. I wonder if there is a seperate photo of this aircraft ? cheers groth
