I think the official date was in 1974.
Agreed
CF : 1929 – 1974

Am curious to see ‘a copy of the picture’ 😉

Just came across the 1961 F84F Thunderstreak on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1961_F-84_Thunderstreak_incident
Does anyone know if any photographs survive of the recovered aircraft or know what happened to them?
An interesting story! And a shame that none survive in an airworthy state!
“In an exhibition at the Luftwaffenmuseum Berlin-Gatow in 2006 („50 Jahre Luftwaffe“ 15.09.2006-31.08.2007), pictures of the two buried and then rediscovered Thunderstreaks at Tegel were shown, finally clearing up the question of what became of the two planes.”
Here is a great collection of vintage french built or registered aircraft (beside Anson, Lockheed, …)

Thanks everyone. Yes Snipe and Brooklands makes sense.
The reg is E ?629 and Snipes range from E6137 to E6686.
…and E7337 to E7836
A bit hard to read, but could the serial be E629? If it is, it should narrow things down a bit.
E629 Airco D.H.9 looks different
