Seen here with 617 Sqdn's distinctive dam-buster insignia, XL425 was built as a B.2 Blue Steel and delivered to 83 Sqdn at Scampton on 30.8.62. She was converted to 'free-fall' in 1970 and allocated to 617 in 11.72, 27 Sqdn in 11.73, and back to 617 in 4.74, finally meeting the scrapper's axe at Scampton in 6.82 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
