Hi all,

It is reported on demobbed that XT895 has turned up in Vilanova i la Geltru – CFO La Papera, Spain.. I thought she was scrapped years ago at RAF Valley??

Any further pictures and/or reports?

She is still there but not in the best of health! She is still definately worth saving though as not that far gone!

XV499

That would be XV499 and I’d like to see her move to YAM and that was on the cards a while back but I haven’t heard anything since…

What about the poor old phantom sitting out on the field slowly dying at RAF Leeming for the last few years.

Seriously though, it would be nice to see what condition she is in!

XT895

I’ve got the pilot’s canopy and an airbrake from that aircraft. Wonder what sort of state it’s in now?

A bit of a curious one this…..

Last noted at Foulness in 2000 as a cockpit section, the latest MAR has it, along with a Dominie from Everetts, at this location in Spain.

Have no idea of the provenance which backs up this identity, however MAR are one of the better groups out there for getting identities correct. That said it seems strange when Spain has a number of defunct F4’s of their own, one would have been sourced from the UK, particularly as its not been positively seen here for 10 years…

Would love to see a picture of what they have !
