Not sure, but in the photo the ac has 'NIMROD R...' on the side. I suspect that this does not mean that it is '666', but it might be.

Any one else?

Yeah, its got to be XW666. The cockpit was donated to the Jet Aviation Preservation Group.

"The aircraft was operating on a post-maintenance test flight out of RAF Kinloss when both starboard engines caught fire. The aircraft was ditched into the Moray Firth. The crew were rescued within 10 miuntes by an RAF Sea King helicopter."
