The aircraft were ordered as F3s but were delivered to interim F6 standard - officially designated F Mk.3ER/6(Int). First flight 23-6-65, piloted by RP Beamont. Service with: CFE, 16-11-65 5 Sqn 23 Sqn BAC Warton, 21-3-68, where it was converted to full F6 standard. FCTU, 18-7-69, coded T and later U 23 Sqn, coded V 5 Sqn, coded B 23 Sqn, during early 1975, coded A 5 Sqn, coded F and later A 11 Sqn, coded A and later BA. The BA code application would have coincided with the application of air defence camouflage scheme. 5 Sqn, during 1984, coded AG (although possibly AC) 11 Sqn, Feb 87, coded BP. Withdrawn from use in early 1988, it was delievered to RAF Leeming on 24-5-88 where it was used for BDR training. Enzo, can you translate what those designations mean to those of us who are clueless? Thanks. |
