Tail Number?

The aircraft at the Bucc service station, on Lossie Road in Elgin, is I think XW530 (XV530? - don't have my cabbage book of numbers to hand). Was "HF - Harry Fox" on 12 Sqn, Usually roled in the CM - TV Martel fit. ISTR ripping CBLS and TVATs off it and loading 1000lb slicks on the door and DPL with Live TV Martels on many a generation exercise, including the infamous "Raft-Race Taceval" mentioned in the "Pull up a sandbag...." thread. Happy days...NOT!

Slabb.

Edit to confirm XW530 - from Bucc Cabbage site -
