The guys from the Visiting Aircraft Section posing on top of what was a rare aircraft for Sharjah. Normally based at Akrotiri, Cyprus, the aircraft's routing was via Nairobi, then to Ndola, Zambia, where the squadron was on detachment for 9 months. Suffered a 'hard landing' at Manston and "damaged beyond repair" on 11th May, 1967 whilst being returned to the UK for storage. Allocated 7972M and scrapped there in 1990.
