A unique UK military serial has been applied to this Skyraider (right). Number combinations below '100' were not allowed - but this aircraft uses the 'last three' of its US Navy BuAer No.124097. It had served 849 Squadron's 'D' Flight aboard HMS Albion, but is now stored before spares recovery at RNAS Abbotsinch in 1963. Also visible are WT112 and WT966.
