One of six F-111F Aardvarks who took part in the Tactical Bombing Competition at RAF Lossiemouth. For this exercise, each aircraft had a large number painted on the tail for easy identification - this one being '6'. This aircraft was lost in Turkey on 1 November 1982 when it crashed on approach to Konya. This photo is copyright © Alan Carlaw, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
