Description
English: A U.S. Air Force Lockheed T-33A-1-LO (s/n 52-9826) from the 10th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, RAF Alconbury, Cambridgeshire (UK), with a Westland Whirlwind (G-AOYB) and USAF T-39A Sabreliner (s/n 62-4461) in the background at RAF Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire on Battle of Britain Day 14 September 1963.[1]
Deutsch: USAFE Lockheed T-33A-1-LO (s/n 52-9826) des 10th TFW (10th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing), 1963 stationiert in RAF Alconbury (UK). Die T-33A-1 entstammt dem 847 Flugzeuge umfassenden Lockheed-Fertigungsblock s/n 52-9129 bis s/n 52-9975. Die T-33A des 10th TFW trugen ihre "Buzz Numbers" - hier TR826 - auf dem mittleren Rumpfabschnitt in von der Norm abweichend besonders großer Ausführung, und ohne Bindestrich. Das Emblem des 10. Aufklärungsgeschwaders, ein kleiner schwarzer Kometenstern mit buntem Schweif in den Farben der vier Staffeln 42nd TRS (Rot), 30th TRS (Gelb), 1st TRS (Dunkelblau) und 19th TRS (Grün) war unterhalb des Randbogens des Seitenleitwerks beidseitig aufgebracht, sowohl an den RB-66B & C Aufklärern, als auch an den Unterstützungsflugzeugen (Support Aircraft) der Base Flight*, den sogen. "Hacks". Die 1961 in Giebelstadt (Bavaria, Germany) ausgestellte Douglas RB-66B Destroyer der 1st TRS (Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron) trug das Embelm der 10th TRW in oben beschriebener Weise, jedoch war deren Buzz Number, hier BB-445, wie bei den RB-66 generell üblich, in nur sehr kleiner Ausführung auf dem Rumpfendstück aufgetragen worden. (*) Zur Base Flight "Hacks" eines Geschwaders gehörten i.d.R. mehrere T-33A Jettrainer (Foto), 1 Douglas C-47A Skytrain (DC-3) Transporter, sowie 1-2 de Havilland Canada L-20A Beaver mit Kurzstarteignung (STOL) für Verbindungsflüge und leichte Personal- u. Frachttransporte.[1]
