A Few F3 questions

Back in 1995 I did my school work experience at Leeming on the F3's and the line with 25 Squadron. The Aircraft I spent the day on had the tail code of FL. With the imminent demise of the fleet it prompted a few questions-

1. Do aircraft keep these codes through their lives or are they squadron numbers? Just curious what happened to this particular A/C. (FL also was a twin sticker from memory).

2. Despite the less than glamorous image it was explained to me that it was a workhorse that had quite a few tricks up its sleeve. Would any crews care to post a few examples of these? (obviously not asking for sensitive info want to see it's reputation restored of where it took some scalps).

Thanks
