Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
BTW hasn't the 'nook been in service longer than that? Several went south in 1982 for the Falklands War, although only BN survived the Atlantic Conveyor loss.

This aircraft was painted up a couple of years ago when it was the 40th anniversary.

Brilliant set.
Looks like you were clocked by the crew in the rear bubble🙂
