Taxi-ing back immediately after participating in the flying display at the 1973 RAF Leuchars Battle of Britain Airshow. From RAF Valley, in training colours and carrying on its tail the pyramid and palm tree badge of 4 Flying Training School, which had been first established in 1921 in Egypt. Note the unusually clean nose, where the gun ports have been faired over and the shell case collectors - the "Sabrinas" - have been removed for the aircraft's then current specific role.

Still a survivor, though minus the nose markings and the zap ! On static display at the 1973 RAF Leuchars Airshow. Completed as an FAW7 in 1958. Converted to FAW9 standard in 1960. After squadron service, transferred to the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment, Boscombe Down on chase and calibration duties including Concorde development work. Made the last Javelin flight in 1975, landing at Duxford where it was put on display by the Imperial War Museum.
