Parked on sun-bleached tarmac beneath the vast Australian sky, this original colour photograph captures the powerful profile of the RAAF F-111C A8-144, an aircraft that embodied cutting-edge strike capability during the Cold War. Its distinctive swing-wing geometry, desert camouflage scheme, and squadron tail art are shown in stunning clarity, making this a striking moment in Royal Australian Air Force aviation history.

This is a genuine 6 x 4 inch photograph, professionally developed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, known for its long-lasting quality and colour integrity. It is not a reprint or digital copy, but an authentic photographic capture. While it shows evidence of previous numbering and light mounting (small double-sided tape on the reverse), it remains in decent collectible condition, having passed internal QC. The tail marking A8-144 firmly identifies this airframe as part of Australia’s fleet of F-111s, affectionately nicknamed the “Pig” for its terrain-following flight capability.

Whether you’re a collector of RAAF aircraft, Commonwealth Cold War military aviation, or legendary platforms like the F-111, this image represents a highly collectible and visually commanding piece. Preserving photographs like this is a way to honour the technological prowess, tactical versatility, and enduring heritage of Australia’s premier strike aircraft.
