Previous photos, mostly from Australia, show their Sabre jet, with only 2 cannon? , early F-86 and Fury had 6x50cal, later, larger Canadair Mark VI Sabre had 4x20mm cannon, same as in F-100 Super Saber that I flew for 15years. The F-4 Phantom is from Australia?? It is either an RF, or an E model with the gun.

Like Canada, Australia also built their own Sabres, with more powerful engines than the original North American F-86.

Australian Sabre armament
  • Guns: 2× 30 mm ADEN cannons with 162 rounds per gun
  • Rockets: 24× Hispano SURA R80 80mm rockets
  • Missiles:AIM-9 Sidewinder Air-to-air missiles
  • Bombs: 5,300 lb (2,400 kg) of payload on four external hardpoints; bombs were usually only mounted on the inner two pylons, as the outer pair of pylons were wet-plumbed for 2× 200 imperial gallons (910 L) drop tanks to give the CAC Sabre a useful range. A wide variety of bombs could be carried with maximum standard loadout being 2 x 1,000 lb (450 kg) bombs plus 2 drop tanks
