PORT WING

1. FGR.2 XV474 at Duxford; port twin Sidewinder rails.
2. F.3 ZE359's inboard pylon for comparison.
3. FGR.2 XV424 at Hendon showing off two AIM-9B Sidewinders.
4. XV424's outboard pylon for comparison, showing the normal RAF load of a drop tank attached to this pylon.
5. ZE359 again. The outboard pylon is shown here with a triple bomb carrier unit installed.
6. FG.1 XT597 at Boscombe; extended port airbrake.
7. ZE359's port airbrake for comparison. As you can see they differ only in minor details such as the placement of data plates. This one also has the safety strut installed to stop the brake moving.
8. XV474 again, showing the port flap feeling a bit down.

STARBOARD WING

1. XV474's starboard flap. Note warning triangles for the ejector release units for the Skyflash missiles.
2. XT597's starboard airbrake.
3. XV474's outer wing. Not the best of photos I'm afraid.
4. XV424's inner wing. The outer portion is folded as you can see.
5. XV424 again, looking down on the starboard inner pylon.
6. XV474's starboard inner pylon for comparison.
7. Back to XV424 for a look at the SUU-23/A gun pod housing a GAU-4/A 20mm rotary cannon as well as the rear portion of a Skyflash missile in its recess.
