The plane started service as bomber in early 60’s. Only 34 were built, 22 being cancelled, the remainder being converted to the strategic reconnaissance role by the mid 60’s. Planes were repainted from all-white anti-radiation paint for a low level camouflage.
This version served solely with No. 543 Squadron at RAF Wyton, Huntingron.
It was converted to a K Mk.2 tanker seeing action in the Gulf War.
