It's the 54 Squadron anniversary special. The markings were applied over two years ago, but it hasn't flown since some time before then!

Nice to see some action at a base I watched at for 10 years as a kid in the 1980s.

Great catch. That's probably the largest a/c ever to land there. Certainly never had one at any of the shows.
