Taxi-ing back immediately after participating in the flying display at the 1973 RAF Leuchars Battle of Britain Airshow. From RAF Valley, in training colours and carrying on its tail the pyramid and palm tree badge of 4 Flying Training School, which had been first established in 1921 in Egypt. Note the unusually clean nose, where the gun ports have been faired over and the shell case collectors - the "Sabrinas" - have been removed for the aircraft's then current specific role.
