Excellent shots once again. An Alconbury RF-4C appeared in the static at Leuchars airshow as early as September 1966.

Your B&W photos are just superb. You're certainly a master of the medium.

Thanks Arnold, you're really spoiling us now. Never saw a grey RF-4, but plenty of camo ones. Thank you for sharing these.

Oh wow! Fantastic to see these.
Love the RF-4Cs but so rare to see photos in the early scheme.

Lovely!
I would always make a stop at this much missed USAFE base on my round robin trips of 'The Hall', 'The Heath' and Wyton from my then home in Bournemouth in the 70's.
A great post .... many thanks :thumbs:
Best regards, Terry

Great shots. Sadly for me the pre-camo RF-4s were just before my time
