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.

Built by Gloster Aircraft as a Javelin FAW.7 in 1957, later being converted to FAW.9 standard. Latterly served No. 29 Squadron and it wears that unit's markings on its fin. Allocated 7972M.
