Spanish RF-4C

I’m currently working on a history of the RF-4C Phantom for an article. Does anyone have any photos of Spanish RF-4Cs they would be happy to let me use, with due credit of course. Thanks.

Thanks for that info. Someone sent me this photo I thought would interest those who hadn’t seen this RF-4C before; on the occasion of the Phantom’s retirement from the Spanish Air Force. (photo credit Antonio Zamora)

I have no photos but some info. They were received in three differents batchs.
The first one came with the delivery of 36 F-4C in the early seventies. They were 4 RF-4C. In the late eighties 8 ex-US National Guard RF-4C were received. In the early nighties 6 more ex-USAF were received. They were finally retired with no sustitution except 4 recce pods from Israel to be used by EF-18A. During the seventies and eighties they shared the recce role in the spanish air force with 18 RF-5A manufactured by CASA around 1970.

I will have some slides taken 15th June at Honington during a visit by three Spainish RF-4C to the UK. I will dig them out and scan them.
