Hi chilly

The original F5A was a late 1950s design... followed by... I believe the F5E Tiger II which entered service in 1972... these photo`s are of the later variant the F5N Tiger II, except the first one which may be a F5E plus the one on the end a T38.

I`m sure some of the guys on here will know more and correct me if I`m wrong... but needless to say they have been on strength quite a few years and still going strong... a beautiful jet.

Hope it helps
