Another mystery,
Hope one of you clever clogs can I'd this.
Its definitely an XJ12 chassis.
Registered as a jag royale.
I have looked on both the Panther and Royale club sites but can see no record of this car,
Any ideas?

Given it's the 2nd built it's probably a prototype to a large extent, which would explain discrepancies.

Might even have used the scuttle and rear wing panels, if not they were probably used to make the mould. A photo of the interior may reveal the dashboard as well.Edited by hidetheelephants on Thursday 9th May 23:47

Bradwell on Sea memorial site. Edit: beaten to it.
Edit 2: For an equally remote air crash site, just across the water at Copt Hall Marsh is where a Zeppelin came down in WW2.

Yes, many have regarded that memorial as a bit odd over the years, depicting a crashed aircraft in that way, was, and still is somewhat controversial.The names on the memorial are also for all aircrew MIA/KIA that flew from RAF Bradwell, and not all were Mossie crews, so also odd from that pov.
