Just dusted off an older Log Book to find that my first sortie in XV 168 was on 2 Dec 1971 - Exercise Highwood - a night formation sortie where we refuelled from a Victor, tossed a Lepus Flare and attacked HMS Penelope under the flare. Sortie length 2hrs 35mins.

Debbie (XV863/'S') does indeed still stand guard at The National Flight Centre, Weston Airport. Her future now looks a lot brighter after recent events.
Still missing a few instruments but I'm sure they'll turn up from somewhere.....
Her ARTF has lasted a little longer than originally intended and she could do with a little TLC but still very much in 1 piece.
