This head-on photo of Supermarine Scimitar F.1 XD317, taken by Stuart H. Bourne, captures the aircraft in folded-wing configuration . The image highlights the Scimitar’s wide intake profile, tricycle gear stance, and naval strike posture typical of its 800 NAS service aboard HMS Ark Royal in 1963.

XD317 is preserved in excellent condition, and this view emphasizes its Cold War carrier-based design. The folded wings reflect its operational readiness for deck storage and launch procedures.
