Tomato plant - strange colouring

Hi

I'm growing tomato plants and noticed a strange colouring on some of the leaves (see attached photo).  Any ideas what the cause is?  Should I be worried?  Thanks in advance.

    Odd, it looks like it should point to something quite specific, it just seems to be affecting the younger leaves, some sort of mineral deficiency? Perhaps iron? Hopefully someone will come along that recognises exactly what it is.

    I had one that did that last year, out of about a dozen, the rest all normal, same treatment and growing conditions. It fruited normally.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    I had similar looking leaves too.. it happened after the recent stretch of strong wind where I live.. I’m pleased to say that it has since returned to normal. I wondered if it was just a sign of stress, from the strong wind perhaps (as I grow them on my balcony)
