Used as a decoy at the RAF base. This F1 made its first flight on 7 April 1960. The aircraft had several Cat.3 damages during its operational career, including lossing a fin and rudder while in flight. It was placed at Wattisham as 8412M and was eventually scrapped by March 1994. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
