The first with photographs of a TwoGar or a TwoSader wins a glittering prize,Okay !
Other very prized items would be pics/stories about the F8U3 Super Crusader or the SkyLancer.
Grazie,Ciao.

The RF-8 with the NL tailcode, 146856 was one I saw while TDY aboard Coral Sea in '77.

Bellissimo,Grazie.
The TF 8 looks possibly even prettier than the single seater (absolute heresy,i know !).
