Photo Comment

Seen here arriving for static display at the 2009 Yeovilton IAD. Note the revised nose profile, a legacy from the testing of the Blue Kestrel radome. In storage at Boscombe Down from March 2010, and offered by Qinetiq for sale by auction on 23 February 2016. Moved to White Waltham in June 2021, where it was cut up for use as a film prop.
