Even though these striking sponsor colours allowed this magnificent aircraft to appear at various airshows between 2003 and 2007, it is not right for such a rare machine, the last flying example of its type. Luckily it was later repainted in its authentic Royal Navy markings as XP924. Unfortunately it suffered a wheels-up landing at RNAS Yeovilton on 27 May 2017, which caused extensive damage to the belly and structural frames of the centre fuselage. By mid 2018 it was still uncertain if the aircraft will ever return to the air. Sorry for the poor photo quality.
