Famous for her part in Israeli Operation 'Tarnegol' on 28th October 1956, a secret mission to intercept and shoot down an Egyptian IL-14 transporting very senior Army high command officers. Now at the Jet Age Museum, Gloucester.
Back to 1989 and this is a former West German Air Force Lockheed F-104G Starfighter plus carpet or quilt, not sure which. I helped push her onto the concrete pads.
At the Second World War Aircraft Preservation Society (SWWAPS) at Lasham in Hampshire.
An interesting pairing at the ATC Lasham Open Day on the 11th July; Jet Provost T.3A XM479 (G-BVEZ) and Boeing 757-28A C-GTSN 'City of Montreal' in the colours of the now defunct Zoom Airlines which ceased trading in August 2008.
