Coffman Starter,
Thanks for posting the F-4M(FVS). I had never seen that before and did not realize that the F-4(FVS) was being considered by the USN as a possible alternative to the F-111B and that the F-4M(FVS) might have fulfilled quite a bit of the TSR2 OR 343 although the Air Ministry really preferred the F-111K after it discounted the Buccaneer 2*.
I found this interesting archive entry in Flight Global from 1966:
phantom fv | phantom tsf | air department | 1966 | 0191 | Flight Archive
Personally, I would have much preferred a SEngO tour on the F-4M(FVS) than on Tornado GR1 - it would have been a beast with a serious air-to-air capability as well (at least for the first 10-15 years) !
