Photo Comment

Unlike their 360 Squadron counterparts, 100 Squadron were relatively infrequent visitors to Leuchars. At the time this shot was taken in June 1990, several Canberras from 100 Squadron were on deployment to Kinloss. WK123/CY had diverted into Leuchars the previous afternoon, after a Canberra E15 crashed on approach to Kinloss, tragically killing the pilot and seriously injuring the navigator.
