    North American F-100 Projects & Developments

    This display model was shown in aero August 1964. It's not really labelled but a short description is given on a Super Sabre with RR Spey engines. Such a proposed version is mentioned in The American Fighter by Angelucci & Bowers as F-100S. So I want to ask if it's the F-100S in the picture.
