A reconstruction of ‘Remit 31’ – the first of nine F-111Fs (serial number 70-2390) planned to attack Bab al-Aziziya Compound in Tripoli on 15 April 1986, and one of only two to successfully release its four GBU-10E/B LGBs on that target. Unlike earlier (US-based) F-111-variants that wore camouflage colours with hard-edged patterns virtually identical between aircraft, UK-based examples received soft-edged patterns, only ‘generally similar’ between aircraft. Tail codes and national insignia were flat black. Except for wing insignia (applied on the left side of the fuselage, behind the cockpit), the fin-tip housing for ECM-systems painted in blue was the only marking identifying this aircraft as assigned to the 495th TFS. Weeks after the Tripoli raid, 70-2390 received a small white bomb marking – shaped similar to the ‘Fat Man’ nuclear bomb – on the left side of the fuselage, just in front and slightly below the bottom front corner of the escape capsule.
