Appreciate the contribution, but compared to all 102 pages of the Ed Kazmirski's Taurus thread, this thread is relatively small with "ONLY" 26 pages. It's a good idea for folks to familiarize themselves with the earlier pages to see what's there...you won't regret the time spent. The very first group of pictures on page ONE of this Simla thread showcases this picture.

It took a while to find it, but I found the original references and discussion of this photo in the Ed Kaz Taurus thread first on page 34, (post 836), and then in more detail on page 88, (post 2189).

I am nearly certain that this is the FIRST photo of the Simla that we have in our possession for the reasons mentioned in the other thread, (no visible linkages, control surfaces down etc). Looks like it was brought up to Ed's living room for a photo in front of the drapes. All other photos were taken at a flying field site.
