Painted in 1992 in this special scheme to commemorate the 50th anniversary of 76 squadron and the 25th years of RAAF Machhi operation. However, as it emerged from the paint shop it was grounded due to fatigue issues. The commemorative scheme was later repeated on A7-070. Despite never flying with this scheme it was used as a traveling display and retains this scheme today, updated from 25 to 34 years at last count. Currently on display at Fighter World, Williamtown NSW. (RAAF Williamtown Aviation Heritage Centre)
