I’m not positive, but I think that’s a de Havilland Sea Vixen. Not quite as odd as it might seem, as just a couple of screens north is DARA Rotary, who provide deep maintenance (i.e. not just topping off the fluids) for Chinooks, Sea Kings and Lynx helicopters, so there is some precedent. But it’s still not what you’d expect in an industrial estate next to a jungle gym.
