This powerful photograph showcases the sleek and formidable General Dynamics F-111G “Aardvark”, serial number 274, operated by the 6th Squadron Royal Australian Air Force. Captured on a bright day, the aircraft’s unique swing-wing profile, distinctive tail art, and aggressive stance dominate the tarmac, embodying the technological ambition and deterrent power of late Cold War air strategy. The bold tail insignia and operational markings highlight the enduring legacy of one of the RAAF’s most iconic squadrons.

Printed on Fujifilm Crystal Archive Paper and measuring approximately 6 x 4 inches, this original photograph is preserved in decent condition, bearing only minor traces of previous mounting. The F-111 series, known for their variable-sweep wings and long-range strike capability, were a pivotal component of Western air power, serving not just in Cold War deterrence but in conflicts like the Gulf War. The RAAF’s adoption and adaptation of the F-111 added a proud and distinctive chapter to this storied aircraft’s history.
