Walther PPK and the Phantom F4J
Guys, you seem to have forgotten that the Walther PPK only appeared in the RAF inventory when it was issued to the F4j aircrew - based at RAF Wattisham in 1984 .....
It was just one component of the aircrew "survival equipment" package, which also included a rather sexy leather jacket.
The Phantom F4j's had been selected from the desert graveyard in the US and then "reworked" at the USNARF base at San Diego and bought by the RAF to compensate for the F4's which we had had to deploy to the FI's after winning the war with Argentina.
It was only one of the unique features of the F4j which included the aircrew clothing, engines, whose 3rd line maintenance facility was in Athens (not St Athan but Athens in Greece) and HOTAS. I believe they had it first on the F4, but Beags may wish to comment.
The rework at San Diego proved to be a nightmare for the engineers at Wattisham - it was full of engineering fudges.
