First flown in 1966, XR770 appeared at that year's Farnborough SBAC display in Saudi markings with a wide array of weaponry. Entering service with 74 Sqdn after that, she finished her career with 5 Sqdn at RAF Binbrook. After a period preserved at RAF Waddington, it was moved to the Manston museum in March 2015.
