Just been going through some shots from the year and came across this one that I had forgotten about.  Nose art on a Buccaneer XW547 awaiting restoration at the RAF Museum Hendon.  Though it quite appropriate for this particular site

Nice shot, though I doubt that this aircraft is awaiting restoration; that is done by the RAFM off-site.  Rather, it has been preserved as it was when withdrawn from service and hence it looks much more authentic to my eyes than an aircraft in "showroom " condition. In your photo you can see (to the rear of the artwork) where the original NATO camouflage is showing through under the temporary sand scheme applied for the 1991 Gulf War.

You could be right SF about it not awaiting restoration.  It was in an area that was full of a lot of bits and pieces if various stages of completion. It's a good chance that thats the way they intended it.

Judging by this picture it must be leaking some fluids as well!
