Guys ...
I've heard a few anecdotes and stories over time that the F-4J(UK) was very popular with crews compared with the F-4M (FGR.2). Stepping away from the politics surrounding the original decision to fit the Spey to our F-4K & M's ... and the later need to buy a few J79 engined ex USN F-4J's prior to the Tornado F.3 coming on stream ... was the F-4J(UK) superior in performance and role execution from a "Hands on Perspective" to that of the FGR.2 ?
I understand our F4 Nav community had to contend with a different backseat environment in the F-4J(UK) ... did that bring up any issues ?
I guess the above is a bit of an Anorak question really ... but a "crews eye" view would be greatly appreciated
Best regards ...
