XM575 was delivered to the RAF in May 1963, entering service with 617 Sqdn and going on to serve with the Scampton and Waddington Wings, 101, 50, and 44 Sqdns. The aircraft took part in the Falklands victory flypast over London in October 1982 and was retired the next year, flying into East Midlands Airport for preservation at the Aeropark. It is seen here in the airport maintenance area soon after arrival, before being moved off to the museum's site This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
