Photo Comment

On the northern edge of Wick airfield, I believe this to be XP199/cn F9465 but cannot be 100% certain. XP199 was based at Lossiemouth and coded LM-760, but said to have been scrapped there - I have my doubts and think it was taken to Wick for use with the Fire Service. There is a photo on this database of XP199 while still in service, photo i/d 334618. The only other Gannet with code LM-760 was XR432, but I have seen a picture of it in scrap condition at Lossiemouth, but minus it's Windshield.
