Yes the F.3, featuring two 16,360-pound thrust Avon engines, a larger square-tip fin, Red-Top missiles, and the capability of carrying two large overwing fuel pods, entered service in 1964

I used to watch these beauties fly from an RAF base in the Middle East in the very early 70's. A great sight!

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
