Phantom on the move

Cheers guys – now she’s at Waddington (Why the move, anyone know?), does this mean she’ll be viewable on airshow days?

re

how is she, at Waddington? In a hangar?

Yep it’s 497 on the move from Coningsby to Waddo, we helped with A.P’s to remove the outer wing sections and fuel tanks.

I think it is XV497 which was moved in 2002 from Conningsby to Waddington.

The police car is actually a “Y” reg which would be from September 2001.

It is also a RAF Police car rather than a Lincolnshire Constabulary one.

Looks to me like the 23sqn phanton on it’s way from Coningsby to Waddington… I know KDJ moved it.

Looking at the police car, its registered in Lincolnshire, and the haulage company are based in Lincoln.

Its an old picture – perhaps taken before the a/c was broken up.

The ‘T’ reg cop car is the give away!

I think they should put a British Phantom into the air again like they did with the Lightning and are doing with the Vulcan. I’d like the chance to hear some Speys someday! 🙂

(I doubt I’ll ever see much less hear a PLAN JH-7 so….lol.)

Well, it looks like a UK police car and haulage firm. They are on ‘our’ side of the road and the index plates look like ours as well!
