Out of lurk mode:

I have a photo of Pucara A-533 that was taken at the Middle Wallop air show when I was a child visiting my relatives in England in 1984.

Anyone know what happened to this airframe?

On a side note, that was an amazing air show-- the sight of the Vulcan doing several fly-by's down the flight line still is with me to this day.

If anyone is interested, I can scan the image and e-mail it.
