Just happened across this interesting picture while looking for something else... One of those F8s in use at a US airfield. What an eye-catcher that would be as a restoration!

Caption: "376th Squadron pilot Lt. James D. Smith poses for the camera on duty shift as Assistant Operations Officer for his unit at Bottisham. Providing localised control of aircraft and usually positioned near an active runway, the high-visibility vehicle is the 361st Fighter Group’s Chevrolet Control Truck."
