Christened "MacRobert's Reply" and coded F in memory of Lady Rachel Workman MacRobert's WWII £25,000 gift to buy a Short Sterling. The bomber became a presentation aircraft in memory of her three sons, one dying in an pre-war aircraft accident and two who perished in action. Delivered February 1966, XT287 was broken up at Lossiemouth December 5, 1992 and scrapped at Elgin in 1997. The Buccaneers were in Cold Lake to participate in Exercise Maple Flag.
