Very realistic diorama.

 

Actually a picture of 16 Squadron's ZA466 (FH) which crashed on landing and caught fire when it returned to Tabuk in Saudi Arabia on 18 October 1990 when the aircraft's undercarriage caught the runway barrier after it (the barrier) was raised in error.

In response to Julien's query- I cant speak for the GR fleet, but our F3 received hand painted black cockpit frames and  sills for NVG compatability purposes. I'm fairly certain it was done during Gulf War 1 / Granby. I suspect the Ground Attack jets got the same mod.
