I think this is just a lower-quality rendering of the shot of BN795, the
shadows, the horizon, the aspect of the a/c are the same, and the control
surfaces are in identical positions. BN795 is supposed to have been
dedicated to the memory of Squadron Leader John Gillan, hence the "Our
John" painted on the cowling. Might this shot have been doctored?
