Not exactly a WRG speciality but perhaps someone knows..?

The website of the German magazine "Der Spiegel" has a report about a Republic RF-84F Thunderflash (explicitly quoted as such!) which, on its way from France to Switzerland piloted by a 70 years old gentleman, lost all navaids, got lost and landed unannounced in Barcelona amidst much mayhem!!!

I have been able to find anything anywhere on the Internet about this (which was apparently also reported in Swiss Television ceefax). Has anybody out there heard about this incident? Is there really an airworthy RF-84F in France (or elsewhere for that matter..)? Any information, leads, hints, details, etc. would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Kenneth
