Found it! It's in the December 2009 Flypast. Let me know what kind of info you might need.

 

 

I've released it (as a placeholder really) but I'd be interested in reading a bit more about it. Thanks.

Something I've been thinking about is Early Cold War Overflights 1950-1956: symposium proceedings (2003) About 400 pages! :good:

The volumes reveal, clarify, and document an incredible amount of material including some previously appearing in various books and magazine and newspaper articles only as tantalizing footnotes or unsubstantiated reports. These include the RF-100A "Slick Chick" activities in Europe and the RF-86A "Ashtray" flights...
