Interestingly enough, the internet makes me think this is a real photo. This was during the testing phase of the English Electric Lightning. The pilot is George Aird, who landed in a greenhouse. He received warning lights on final that he deemed spurious. By the time he was on short final, the airplane started doing uncommanded and uncontrolled movement of flight control surfaces, so he ejected due to minimal speed & altitude. A newspaper reporter and photographer were there to interview the farmer, who all happened to be in the right place at the right time.
