Opinions differ as to the designation of this aircraft - it was built as a B2, modified as a U10 (drone), put into store then modified again as a test aircraft for A&AEE. Retired in 1988 after use by Martin-Baker, and broken up in 1990. The nose section is preserved at Boscombe Down. Superficially identical to Brian Johnstone's picture at IAT in 1983, but with different bomb bay doors.
