Not just any old photo of a Wyvern. It shows the pilot parting company from
his aircraft after it was hit whilst attacking a target near Port Said during
Operation Musketeer (hence the orange and black stripes).

Reportedly, the ejection was delayed until the wingman was ready with his
camera - selfies weren't really a practical proposition in 1956.
