Thank you Nutter, but reading up on Wiki I see that 6 F4 were modified to become T7 but that 65 were built as T7. Generally we may assume that the T7 was based on the T7 and not modified as such.
Regarding the 6 that were modified, did that include the subject aircraft?
Either way , the way it read in the media was that it was a recent (post-service) cut and shut job.
