Thanks for the piccies - they remind me of my one and only trip in an MR3 back in 1969, which was quite some experience. But I could still hear the engines hours after landing!

As for being a spotter, I recall that the Kinloss seagulls could tell a Mk 3 from a Mk 4.
Perhaps they didn't want to be roasted by the Mk3's Vipers? We certainly used a LOT of runway even with 4 turning and 2 burning.
