Drool mode on……… Phantom piccies

Awesome images! But I thought it was 1st October 1992 they were retired?

Very nice, do miss the Phantoms from Wattisham, but I miss that Corsair more. What was the reason for the Phantom/Corsair formation? Was it something to do with John Allison?

I have a short video of the last flight of a UK Toom, XT597. It was its last trials flight and included some AAR. I had permission to take video from the top of our building. My video camera was pants and I thought I would use it as practice – we all thought it would do a delivery flight. Hey ho it never flew again. I am hoping to copy it onto DVD with some vid from Boscombe shows and sell with proceeds to the BDAC. Just need to find a place to copy it!!!!
