Gents,
Firstly, I hope you will not mind a civilian intruding.
Since it is now officially Phantom Phriday, I would like to pose some questions about the attached photo.
I found this on
Phantom jet fighter picture archive homepage, a Phantom Picture Archive set up by Robert Small and Nick Hewgill.
Robert has very kindly given me permission to post a picture here of this beauty:-

This is a photo of XV426 in 1435 Flt. markings. Robert believes that the photo was taken at Wattisham in the mid/late 1980's.
My queries concern the fuel tanks:-
1. Were they marked like this for ACM?
2. Were they grey/red or white/red?
3. Does anyone else have any other photos of 23 Sqn or 1435 Flt. Tooms with tanks coloured like these?
Hope you can help,
Michael.
