On final approach to Runway 31 at Prestwick from its RNAS Yeovilton base. Carrying Fleet Requirements and Aircraft Direction Unit (FRADU) code "871". Taken on charge new by the Royal Navy in 1958. Lost in a sadly fatal flying accident on 31 October 1984 when it struck the sea off the coast of Portland. This photo is copyright © David A.
