What a great thread. I served at RAF Leeming in 1973/4 as an airframe bod on 3FTS. The Google earth shots really do bring back the memories. I would tend to agree that the 2 Phantom Phantoms don't really have the right aspect of real airframes and that they appear to have been painted onto the concrete, wonder why, surely the service had enough scrap airframes to spare for decoys by then.
As a bit of a footnote to the moderator, I have to say this is my favourite forum - attended by true and total gentlemen. It is a pleasure to read such a wealth of experience and knowledge without the verbal battering experienced on many of the other forums. Great stuff !
