If ZD433/45A has been selected for the FAA museum at Yeovilton was it ever with the NSW other than the time it was in the "sandpit"?

The last time it flew it was with No.1 (F) Squadron :Wow:

Callsign "Satan " identifies this as a Naval Strike Wing Harrier, part of a week-long deployment to the Scottish superbase. Note the array of different "kill" markings below the cockpit.
just found this so I guess so-great news :thumbs:

All of the Harriers were routinely rotated amongst the squadrons, those that were sent on deployment tended to be the most capable ones with more powerful engines, better weapons fits and increased observational and targetting abilities! ;)
