I also saw 55-3121 (tail 0-53121) several times at Upper Heyford in Dec'66 and March to May'68 - it had a very interesting rear end!

The wreck of the F-100 was substantially complete - was given a colour slide of it on a low loader by an SP based at Mildenhall. It probably ended up at Molesworth where a lot of USAF wrecks were processed.

I believe this F-100 was the one that ended up at a scrap yard at Exning near Newmarket .

Absolutely fantastic set, the EC-130 is rare in those markings & the F-100 line is amazing, would love to see more.
