The One Eleven
squadron nose marking is incomplete, green/grey camouflage is incorrect for an aircraft fitted with TESS and the centreline store is unusual.
Whereas the 64(R) painted original was correct.

K....it may well be the piccy/camera angle or my ageing eyes but that centreline tank doesn't quite look "right"...have I miss remembered?
Equally flying in B Fit was not the norm in the RAF until 74 Sqn equipped with the F4J with the American High g tank. The RN used B Fit due to Carrier weight limitations.

Never noticed the tank, but I think it may be a spare they had lying around at the museum. I'm not claiming any knowledge on the subject, but it may be off the Meteor they have there. The 111 Scheme is obviously unfinished. The museum is only open at certain times, so I couldn't get any info, as there was no one there to ask. It may be the angle I took the 2 pics at, but the thing that struck me when comparing it with the old pic of the 64 Sqn markings was the similarity between the 2 versions of the Tornado. The black nose on the 111 marked pic appears to make it look more squat than the grey 64 pic, which has a sleeker looking effect, similar to the difference between a camo GR1 and a grey F3 Tornado.

Stunning vid of 302 Hikotai F-4EJ Kai final ops...
*WARNING: Viewer discretion is advised, may cause grown men to suffer moist eyes!*
Stunning video of the last few weeks of 302 Hikotai Phantom ops...
Just two Phantom squadrons remain in JASDF service now, 301 Hikotai with the F-4EJ Kai and 501 Hikotai, with the RF-4E Kai and RF-4EJ Kai and these too will finally relinquish their last F-4s in 2020.
