Should have said I arrived at RAF Finningley at 17 year old in December 1964, the crew chief was C/T Jackson, he suffered for looking after a jinx aircraft, but we all still loved it.

My first posting as a 17 year old airman, XH561 came in without an undercarriage, spent over 12 months on refit, and then on the aircraft pan nose undercarriage gave way. I was then posted thought this aircraft would have been scrapped, pleased to see it carried on to at least 1982.

Converted to B.2K configuration as a re-fuelling tanker in 1982 - 50 Sqn RAF Waddington.
