In special markings to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the RAF's 47 Squadron, approaching Prestwick's Runway 30 while on deployment for a few days in low level support of a combined operations exercise. The depiction of a crane on the tail echoes 47 Squadron's badge, carried on the front fuselage, whose design in turn reflects historical deployments in Russia and Egypt.
