The aircraft was painted in this special scheme to celebrate 1976 being the Bicentennial year of the British colonies issuing their Declaration of Independence from Britain. The next year the tanker number was changed to '16' with a simple paint modification. This photo is copyright © Jay Sherlock, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
