If the non-free image you uploaded were to remain on the article, it significantly reduces the likelihood that someone else (or you) will obtain a free image for the article. Really, how hard will it be for someone to get a free image of the Skylon tower?
Given that this particular Skylon tower was turned into ashtrays about 50 years ago, it may not be particularly easy. :-)
Of course, it's *easier* to just use an available non-free image. But
the easy route is not necessarily the best route.
Who knows?
I suspect that the use of tags on articles that employ such images would be better than outright deletion.
