Repainted and recoded 'XI' for the reactivation ceremony of XI(F) Squadron in March 2007 and still on display with them. The text in the finband says '100 Years 1915 - 2015'. Unfortunately, the paint on the upper surfaces is deteriorating. Hopefully this 1965 Lightning will receive some care again soon.
