Former battle damage repair training airframe restored to static display condition to serve as a Vietnam War and MIA memorial. When Upper Heyford closed in 1994 the aircraft was moved to nearby RAF Croughton where it was positioned as a "gate guardian", but it was allowed to deteriorate and in 2016 it was removed to RAF Molesworth for scrapping.
