Photo Comment

This surviving nose section sports a non-standard nose, a legacy of the aircraft's use for many years on radar and missile test work. WG789 was struck off charge on 23 February 1982 at RSRE Bedford and, after a period of use as a ground instructional airframe, the airframe was scrapped.
