Photo Comment

"XZ133" flew the last LGB mission during the day of the Argentine forces surrender in the Falklands campaign. When the "white flag" was seen waving over Port Stanley, the aircraft was called back to HMS Hermes, a few minutes before the planned release of her bombs over the Argentine HQ.
