Surprisingly the first photograph on ABPic. Still showing elements of the special 208 Squadron 75th anniversary scheme (minus the Egyptian Sphinx motif on the tail). Sadly this Buccaneer, which was the oldest in RAF service at the time, crashed into the North Sea the following month on 9th July 1992.
