This Javelin made the last ever flight of type when it was delivered to Duxford in January 1975, after service with the A&AEE at Boscombe Down where chase and calibration work had included trials as part of the SC.9, Concorde and MRCA programmes. It was orinaly built as an FAW.7 and served 5, 25 and 33 Sqdns before acquiring the high visibility paintwork with A&AEE. My shot here shows it taking off from Coltishall in 9173

Written off (damaged beyond economical repair) 11 May 1967: Suffered a heavy landing at Manston, Kent. Damage was only slight but with the impending withdrawal from service of the Javelin XH764 was struck off charge as Cat.5(G/I) and allocated to 7972M. As a result, XH764 was put on display at Manston. Ironically XH764 had been en route to 27 MU, RAF Shawbury for storage pending disposal, as 29 Squadron had just re-equipped with the Lightning F.3. XH764 (7972M) was scrapped by Hanningfield Metals, Stock, Essex, by April 1990.
