Again, no expert but on my tiny iPhone screen that looks like an A4 refuelling a tristar, isn't that a bit odd?
Indeed It's a RNZAF A4 Skyhawk fitted with a buddy-buddy pack and a RAF Tristar about to 'prod'. It's a 'dry' prod (ie no fuel transfer)!
The photo' was taken in the early/mid 1980's during a Far East deployment with the F3 Tornados and remained a quite closely guarded secret on 216 Sqn (I saw the original when I held on 216). For obvious reasons, it wasn't generally available to the wider audience.
Apparently there was also some video of a 101 Sqn VC10 prodding but I haven't seen that.
