Veteran of Falklands 'Black Buck' raids 5 & 6, XM597 took the honour of flying the longest combat mission in the history of air warfare, precisely sixteen hours. Running dangerously short of fuel after an air-to-air hook-up mishap following mission 6 on 3rd June 1982, 597 diverted to Rio much to the consternation of the authorities, a Shrike missile stuck on its rail being confiscated. The aircraft was released after a week on condition that it would not be used in further combat; it was retired to the museum at East Fortune in 1984. Still in reasonable shape but in need of some TLC.

This was the aircraft that lost its refuelling nozzle during a rendezvous with a Victor tanker after participation in the Falklands conflict. It was forced to divert to Galeao Airport in Brasil, where the crew were temporarily interned.
