43 Sqn FG.1 serial?

Good evening all, can anyone help with a serial for the following FG.1 please?http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...GR2_43Sqn.JPEG
The picture is dated 1st Sept 1980 if thats any help, also, I know towards the end of their operation of the F-4, 43 and 111 operated a few FGR.2s to make up the squadron strength due (I believe) to life-ex'd FG.1s. Does anyone know how many and possibly which aircraft were used?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards, Daz

Assuming it was the same "K" that we had on the squadron during my tour (from 1969 to 1974), it was one of our two "two-stickers" and the serial was XT 875

K was still XT875 in 1983 when I did my squadron arrival check in her.

I did too, but on 9 Feb 1970; this was my first ride in a "two-sticker" having converted to type at Yeovilton, where the RN didn't put a stick in the back seat.
