Taxiing for its flying display at a Prestwick Airshow in 1977. While its shore base was at RAF Leuchars, 892 Squadron operated at sea from HMS Ark Royal, hence the R-002 codes. XV568 carries on its nose the 1977 Silver Jubilee markings commemorating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's accession to the throne in 1952, twenty five years earlier. This photo is copyright © David A.
