Year a guess. WR975 completed a Phase III update January 1965 and despatched to No.206 Squadron still at RAF St Mawgan being coded 'S'. The squadron moved up to RAF Kinloss June 1965 and WR975 was transferred to No.120 becoming coded 'A' in March 1966. Therefore the photograph was taken between Jan 65 & Mar 66 - possibly at a 'B of B Open Day' at Kinloss September 1965
