John,

Thanks for sharing these photos, as you Im partial to odd Cranberry as you well know so these made my day, especially with the detailed shots youve taken aswell. Forgive me being cheeky but you didnt happen to get any of the office by any chance? Bex

I know senility is setting in, but I’d swear that there was a post suggesting the use of the replicas as gate guardians after the film is complete – particularly at Scampton.

And I’m sure I replied pointing out that the replicas might not be full size 3D.

Now there is nothing.

Please tell me I’m not going mad?

A theory

I have a theory folks, see what u think of it:

If the RAF like an aircraft, they bend over backwards to help, Vulcans Lightnings Canberras for example flown into the nearest airfields for their new owners but if they didnt like an aircraft like the Phantom, they scrapped them so quick it was virtually impossible to get one.

Thoughts anyone?

That looks like a pretty realistic replica to me 😀 😀 Bex

Doesnt it make you sick, F4’s were an important part of our air force history and we’re not allowed to save them. I believe scrap F4’s had to be left outside so the Russian sats could keep an eye on them, so why couldnt the RAF dish em out to museum’s minus engines and airframes careful sliced in the right places? Im just curious now. Bex

56 or 74 Sqn

Well you could go for 56 Sqn nice bright red tail and a cracking Sqn insignia or go for 74 Sqn, ok so its bare metal with black tail but it does look quite sweet. Bex
