325 Mystere IVs were ordered for France under the US Offshore Procurement Program. When they were replaced in 1976, many of the survivors were transferred to the USAF and most of those via 7519 Combat Support Squadron at Sculthorpe where they were either scrapped or passed on to UK museums or other USAF bases. The first aircraft, 295, seen here, arrived on 27th April 1976. 13 F-100s were present on this Open Day and just the one Mystere IVA. Contemporary reports say that 295 was moved to Duxford in May 1976, later reports say it was scrapped at Sculthorpe in June 1977.
