My vivid recollection of Phantom aerodramatics was back in circa 1981.
I was a young eager engineer at BAE jewel in the crown site (Warton) and so tended to watch as many aircraft comings and goings as I could without being told off.
One day I saw a Phantom on the approach and being a bit out of the ordinary I decided to watch it land.
Well unbelievably on the approach, gear down etc, at about 500ft he decided to do a 360deg roll and then complete the landing! Absolutely unbelievable.

Almost as good fun as K Hartley Lightning take-offs.

Happy daze.
