Built for the RAF as XW362, entering service in 1971. Retired in 1991 & stored RAF Shawbury. Purchased by International Air Parts, Sydney, in 1992 & shipped to Australia. Restored at Bankstown and registered VH-YZB on 11 August 2003. Originally painted in fake Kuwaiti Air Force markings, but since acquired by Top Gun Tasmania in 2006 has been re-marked in these 'Tasmanian Air Force' markings with a Thylacine as the centre figure in the roundel!
