A bit more background while TN follows up his crew lead ...

006 of 892 NAS was XV589. Unfortunately this was the aircraft that crashed in June 1980 flying an approach to RAF Alconbury when the radome opened and folded back. She was with 111 Squadron at the time ... thankfully both crew ejected safely. XV589 then ended her days on the RAF Coningsby Fire Dump

I'm not able, as yet, to tie up 005 to a Serial Number ... Perhaps our good friend Rhino Power can help ?
