Post your RN Phantom pics

As I’m working on some FAA FG.1 drawings went through my old slides. Here goes to kick this off. Been some time since we’ve seen these FG.1s, so here are a couple from my personal collection, taken in 1973 at Malta. Anyone with more details about the zap on the tail of ‘005’, below the fin code ‘R’, would be most welcome.

Not brilliant pics, only had an “instamatic” in those days. If I remember rightly they were taken at a very wet Yeovilton Air Day and nothing flew.
