The small dark grey areas within the non slip paint is where there are small access panels to get to the fuel tank sender units

Cheers guys.

I wonder if this will happen?

If you like Phantoms (and who in their right mind doesn't!) you'll love this book...
A stunning photowork from Ian Black, of UK F-4's.

P6 Driver, great pic (#336) but the aircraft was the last airworthy F4J(UK) that now happens to be in USN markings. Though, to be fair, it was theirs to start with! It was still serviceable - yes, even the radar - when it was shut down for the last time. If you look carefully on your next visit, the Wattisham frequency card is still on the front canopy rail.

Fortissimo - Thanks for that - I hadn't researched it's past!

I might bow out of the thread following this post as I've pretty much exhausted my stock of Phantom photos! I'll post more if I find any, but won't post the work of others.

Many thanks P6D for your contributions

Two years ago

17th June 2013 two F4s passed over current and former air bases in Germany with Phantoms in active use.

My earlier pics were pulled by Flickr so at Coff's suggestion I'll have a stab with PB.

F4J's ZE360(O) with ZE353(E) behind and Angola Air Charter Boeing 707 D2TOU lurking to the right, seen on the RAF Manston Fire Training Area awaiting the attention of baby firefighters around 20 years ago (ish).

I see PB has nobbled my pix, must be doing something wrong!
Anyway here's a pic I DIDN'T take:




MY effort, as long as it lasts:

I know its bad form to repeat photos, but from page 13 - post 245 of this thread, it's like someone was standing one foot to my left!



My image was taken at the RAF Finningley Air Day of 1982.

Skyflash Hybrid ?

It looks like "H" has a Skyflash Hybrid on Stn 4 - front right Aero 7a, rather than the usual Sparrow III Ballast, as on "F".

A pair lined up for departure at RAF Coningsby in 1986.
