Originally uploaded to ABPIC as a F7U-1 Cutlass, a correspondent has advised that the image is of a F7U-3 Cutlass. Despite the collapsed front landing gear, the -3 from the - 1 can be differentiated by the raised cockpit and downwards sloping nose. The -1 has a longer, rounder, and straighter nose. As an additional comment, I don't believe any F7U-1s survived since they only made 14.
