TE 384 was allocated to RAF Syerston and I feel sure I first encountered her at RAF Wymeswold just before this pic in 1957 and she was a familiar sight on the gate for many years (although not easily visible from the A46). The odd thing is I’m sure she was at Syerston when we took our Harriers there for a field exercise, c1972 sporting a Red spinner.

She did eventually fly in Australia and was then sold to America where she currently awaits a repaired engine. (see a link in the first post).
