Photographed in the static display during Air Tournament International 92. This Jag made her first flight on the 25th November 1974 and was delivered just a few weeks later on the 20th December. Initially allocated to 226 OCU (Operational Conversion Unit) at RAF Lossiemouth, she was transferred to the Empire Test Pilots' School in 1986. Stored at St Athan in November 1996 then at Shawbury in February 1999, she was allocated the maintenance serial 9293M, before the fuselage was roaded up to Warton in September 1999 to be used for T2A upgrade development. After that work was completed, the fuselage was scrapped at Bruntingthorpe in January 2003, however, the cockpit section was saved, going to the Norwich Aviation Museum in April 2007 where it is now displayed.
