It was in the early 60s, I was an early teen, and raead a lot of books about military aircraft, I thought the name was corsair, but I am sure it was F8U, a twin tail jet, one of the early ones

I spent two hours at this sight yesterday looking at some beauties.
Sorry about the poor pic quality but it's the only one I have of a F7U in BA colors.
