Accompanying the 3 Wing/42 Sm. RF-84F FR-34 from Bierset at the Alconbury Open House was this F-84F (ex 52-7216) of 2 Wing/1 Sm., similarly making a final show appearance away from its Florennes base. Interestingly, an F-84F painted as FU-52 in the original silver colours is part of the Florennes base collection, but this one is really FU-144 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
