Phantom FG1 XT870 892 Squadron R-012 parked behind. Both scrapped Leuchars April 1992. Is that a US Bi-Centennial badge on 568s fuselage? If not what is it, I can read the last date 1976 but not the first one. The badge is an RN ensign with 876 - 1976 either side having a dig at the realtive youth of the USA being celebrated in their Bicentennial.
