antarmike Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) No 74 Squadron reforms at Wattisham with the delivery of the first of the F4J Phantoms, given the RAF designation Phantom F3. The new fighter Phantoms are ex-US Navy aircraft desinged to fill the gap in the UK Air Defence capability, created by the need to provide full time cover on the Falklands, until the full deployment of the Tornado F3. This wattisham F3 is actually with 111 Squadron. Edited November 16, 2008 by antarmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I still remember these flying around in the Netherlands in the late 80's. We live in a low flying area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
