Photo Comment

First flew 20 March 1967, delivered to 11 Squadron 26 May 1967. Later to 74 (Tiger) Squadron with code L. While operating with that unit, it was written off on 27 July 1970 when it stalled after take-off from Tengah. The pilot ejected at too low an altitude and was killed, as were two Malay villagers on the ground.
