<p>c/n F-17.
Full US military serial 62-4428.
On display at the main gate to RAF Croughton communications station.
Despite being the last F-105 extant in the UK, this airframe was scrapped a few weeks later, along with the adjacent F-100. This seems a criminal act to me. Although a common type in stateside museums, surely one of the UKs many smaller collections would have wanted this Vietnam era beast?
RAF Croughton, Northamptonshire, UK.
