Hi,
Anyone got any pics of the F-4 Phantom 25th Ann meet at Greenham Common in 1983 that they want to post. I missed this show as I was on summer camp at RAF Wattisham at the time so I can’t complain as we got to clamber all over the Phantoms !
Thanks 😀

XT597 had her tail painted up with special 25 year markings, I have a photo somewhere of it. One day we put her tail back that way though probably not!

F-4.

I’ve actually got pictures of most of the line of F-4’s from that weekend.
I’m busy at present but will try and scan some later.
Cheers
Andy 🙂 🙂 🙂

I think I might have some – if memory serves that was my first and only visit to Greenham Common. There was a rather interestingly painted F4 there, and I think they also had a Pucara in the static, under fairly new ownership of course… 😉
