Taxi-ing out to participate in the flying display at the 1977 Prestwick Airshow. Showing to full advantage its aerodynamic curves, and carrying the crossed swords badge of 237 OCU, RAF Honington. First delivered to the Royal Navy in 1967, and transferred to the RAF in 1971. Withdrawn from active service in 1990, given the serial 8774M and relocated to Pendine Sands bombing range, where it was scrapped in 1994.
