Still a survivor, though minus the nose markings and the zap ! On static display at the 1973 RAF Leuchars Airshow. Completed as an FAW7 in 1958. Converted to FAW9 standard in 1960. After squadron service, transferred to the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment, Boscombe Down on chase and calibration duties including Concorde development work. Made the last Javelin flight in 1975, landing at Duxford where it was put on display by the Imperial War Museum. This photo is copyright © David A.
