These amazing images of ZE360 flying in formation with an Italian F-104 Starfighter come courtesy of Hayley Pattern who found them in her late husband Flt Lt Ewan Murdoch collection. Taken in February 1987 either transiting to or from Akrotiri.

I`d like to thank Hayley for allowing me to share these rare and personal photos.

The pairs shot is interesting in that it shows ZE360 behind ZE359, both being the only `J` survivors. ZE359 is now at Duxford American Air Museum in her previous US Navy VF-74 scheme.
