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 on 10th September 1985 transiting low level through the Dolomites. Ewan was the pilot of the photoship while Gordie James and Andy Nailard crewed ZE360.

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.
