Less than three months later (see my other photo of XL566) the tail code has been amended to "TW3" According to one of the squadron personnel it was supposed to represent a popular satirical TV show presented by David Frost which ran from 1962 - 3. It was called, "That Was The Week That Was" or commonly shortened to "TW3" Ended up at Brüggen as 8891M for instructional use and scrapped in 1995.
