EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak FU-6, a legendary aircraft belonging to the Royal Belgian Air Force. In August 1954, as part of the Military Assistance Program allocation, this remarkable machine found its way into RBAF's possession. With its sleek design and powerful capabilities, it quickly became an integral asset for the force. The image captures the Thunderstreak in all its glory at Southend Air Museum around 1975. Its distinctive markings proudly display its identification number: 52-7133. This particular aircraft served dutifully until January 1972 when it was officially decommissioned (SOC). However, instead of being forgotten or scrapped, it was carefully stored at Koksijde before finding a new purpose as a decoy at Beauvechain. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exceptional flight machine but also a piece of history. The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak FU-6 represents an era where aviation played a crucial role in military operations and technological advancements. Thanks to Mary Evans Picture Library's expertise and dedication to preserving historical moments like these, we can appreciate and admire this iconic aircraft from yesteryears. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and innovation that has shaped our world today through transportation and aerial warfare technology.
