Deja vu - well, nearly. The picture at left was taken at Heston in 1933 and shows Alban Ali in front of an unknown Swift. The picture was used as the frontispiece of his book and the registration letters added later. Right, Ali stands in front of the real Scarlet Angel at Wycombe Air Park, May 26, 1981.
