Massive site!
This is the most photos I’ve seen of F-4Ks in a single site so far on board the Ark.
The K is definitely my favourite version.
Please post them all!
That was some force! A RAF Lightning pilot who flew Ks from the Ark on exchange said ‘that you couldn’t compare that type of flying to anything else’ or something along those lines. Coming from the cream of the RAF at the time, it just goes to show the calibre of flying those RN units produced.
Even USN exchange officers admitted as much, people like Mig killer and Topgun graduate Jerry Beaulier and others.
They Spey F-4 had better acceleration and of course T/W ratio from those Speys (18.6 tons total against IIRC 14.2t of the J!!)..
