This is an original screen-used head of Symphony Angel.

The missing Angel is Rhapsody. (The photo I’ve used was taken at the 2014 RAF Cosford event) Her likeness was based on model and actress, Jean Shrimpton. In the series her real name is Dianne Simms, and her nationality is British. She was voiced by Liz Morgan.
