I recall gleefully watching them run through Beirut, a lovely demo of the big banana jet in its natural element. I believe the runs were on 11 September 1983 but have tried and failed to find any video on the internet. Anyone know where it might be found / other trhan from BBC/ITN.

XV868 is currently guarding the end of the runway at BAE System Brough if memory serves. I used to servce that jet on 208 in the mid 80's, so it was a bit of a shock when I ended up walking past it on the way to work every morning!

I was picking up bits of broken glasses after a very good party the night before in a flat overlooking the sea in Beirut, watched by a cat dozing in the sunshine, when the Buccaneers came in rather lower than our balcony. I gashed my finger badly and the cat shat itself. Do either of us qualify for a war injuries pension?
