Original by F/Sgt Geoff H Steele. Stored at 33 MU RAF Lyneham between 27/1/65 - 13/9/66, then delivered to Warton for conversion to F.2a. It has been suggested that the photo is probably early September 1966 with the engine running guard on so probably being prepped for delivery post storage. Became 8538M 01/04/77.
