Original C S Waterfall. Year a guess. This aircraft first flew on 6 February1953 and was diverted to the RAF as XB685. The allocated RCAF serial 19571 was first applied on return to USAF on 30th November 1956. This aircraft was redesignated F-86E/M and transferred to the Italian Air Force under the Military Defense Assistance Program. It looks like the US did not wish to issue a USAF serial due to short duration of ownership.
