U R welcome PEB
And still am searching for more use of this roundel. I guess this is the only time it was on an aircraft.

In your initial post you depicted them as F-15, I agree they are F-4.
Do you know when the picture was taken?
still true. That roundel was only known on the very early F-15s. The ones on the Netherlands based F-4s were ca. 1974? Just before the F-4 were replaced with the F-15.

Interesting stuff Gerard, I never saw such a roundel before!
A variant very similar (with the blue circle) was frequently used on dark painted aircraft after WW2 (navy blue US Navy aircraft by example). But this oneβ¦
It’s correct. I found more pictures of the Dutch based F-4 with that roundel. But so far only those.
