A bit of a misty morning at Luton. There were several Chilean Air Force visits to Luton in 1982 just after the Falklands war. It is thought the UK repaid Chilean assistance with some arms shipments. Delivered new to the FACh as 996 in June 1973 and still active in 2024. Operated by Gruppo 10. This photo is copyright © Kerry Taylor, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
