So much going on in this image; the aircraft has had its wings folded and is receiving replenishment, the shirtless guy has no doubt hung his headset on the refuelling probe, and the crew is ready to exit the aircraft, note the observer's hatch is cracked open. There's peeling on the radome as its outer coating has broken off and the Fire Streak missile has had a cover placed over its seeker head. This is a multi-faceted cone made from flat clear plastic panels that was prone to damage if not kept covered.
