Unusually the first digit of the serial painted on this KC-135 is not the procurement year 1961. That was dropped so this 1964 purchase could have a five-digit tail number like other KC-135s. 64-14838 was upgraded to a KC-135R then modified for signals surveillance. It was acquired by the RAF as ZZ665 in 2011. This photo is copyright © Roger McDonald, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
