Photo Comment

Initially preserved at the international airport on a plinth, in camo and black markings, but moved to the museum in April 1992. By 1996 the paintwork was in very poor condition, and during the restoration that followed it was unfortunately repainted in these unattractive all-grey markings. Its front turret is evidently missing in this photo, presumably for restoration. Seen here while it was still on outdoor display, but it had been moved indoors by Sep 2007. It later regained its original and much nicer camo and black markings.
