Last few months of service for this variant, Carries a number of "Desert Storm" mission marks. This , the "E" variant, was assigned to the 20TFW (later 20FW) based at Upper Heyford and was a conventionlly armed variant. The virtually indistinguishable "F" variant (Lakenheath based) was nuclear capable.

As a young USAF security policeman I guarded many a nuclear 'cocked' F111E at RAF Upper
Heyford in the 70's. Not sure where you got the idea they were conventionally armed.

Nice! I was at Lakenheath and still remember seeing those "Varks" in transient alert
from Heyford.
