something about the WSO canopy doesn't look right :? But I am not an F-4 expert.

It is an early model Phantom, probably an "A" model. The early ones had a low profile canopy for the aft seat. It was rasied later in the production line for obvious reasons!

Uwe,

you might check in with their Historical Society.

They should know about the gate guard.

Cheers, André
