below Lightning F.1A XM175/T was part of the frst production batch of 48 F.1s and F.1As and joined No 56 Sqn
at Wattisham in early 1961. The unit’s markings consisted of large red and white nose chequers thinly outlined
in pale blue flanking the roundel and a small roundel containing the unit’s phoenix badge on the fn. The aircraft
continued to operate with 56 Sqn until April 1973, when it was returned to BAC to serve as a test rig.
