Did the USAF ever fly “D”s out of the UK?
The 406th FBW. was based at Manston. The 513th and 514th FBS were based at Manston and the 512th at Bentwaters.

Very distinctive looking the D model. Was it a ‘smoker’ like the earlier Mk’s?

I’ve seen photos of A’s operating out of Sheppard’s Grove before moving to Bentwaters, but never Ds. Learn something new all the time.

Yes, out of Bentwaters, as mentioned above
512th FIS, from Dec 1954 to Mar 1958

Graham -it most likely came up for disposal long before the loan programme was fully established.

I wonder how much the postage would be ?

Agreed, it would look fantastic at Bentwaters in 512th FIS markings. I’d like to know how that is able to be sold when they usually fall under the jurisdiction of the NMUSAF’s loan programme?
Regards.

That would look so nice at Bentwaters in 512th FIS colours.
