Gainesy - I stand to be corrected, but I was always under the impression that it was t'other way round, Jag got a Phantom.

I know that sounds very odd, but the reason why it sticks in my mind is that as a young Air Cadet, I spent a week at Laarbruch in August 85, and during that week we were shown round a 2 Sqn Jag by a pilot who seemed to us young wannabes to be rather reticent. When we enquired elsewhere as to why he'd been a bit of a mardy so-and-so, we were told that it was indeed him who'd pressed the tit and splashed the Phantom, hence his present bad boys assignment showing Air Cadets around pending his formal interview without coffee...
