Beauty RAF F-4 Alistair.
I think that Phantoms always look phabulous!
Thanks very much.
Amazing looks, Alistair @alistairfgauld
Unfortunately we didn't have Phantoms stationed here but did have some German or British ones visiting from time to time.
Thanks so much.
Very kind.
Phrom a phormer Phantom phixer[F-4J's] it looks phantastic!
Thanks very much.
That is extremely kind of you.

Looks gorgeous, Alistair!
We still phly Phantoms in Greece, it is a plane I love. We have them painted in the lovely Aegean Ghost camo.
However, to me the British Phantom is the more aesthetically pleasing of all, your excellent build emphasizing that.
Well done!
Thanks very much, Spiros.
The Greek camo looks really good on a Phantom but there is something about the UK Spey engined ones that just says "Don't mess with me"

Alistair
I'm a bit partial to the smokin J-79's. although the Speys are cool too.
Nice work Alastair and an impressive result.
Thanks vey much.
That is very kind of you.
