EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and imposing figure of RAF Phantom FGR.2 XV470 G, a McDonnell Douglas / Hawker Siddeley F-4M jet fighter belonging to No.19 Squadron, as it proudly sits on the tarmac of RAF Wildenrath during the 1980s. The Phantom, a legendary aircraft in the annals of military aviation history, served as a primary multirole combat aircraft for the Royal Air Force (RAF) for several decades. The Phantom FGR.2, an upgraded version of the original Phantom, was a formidable machine, boasting advanced capabilities in both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. With its distinctive twin-engine configuration and powerful Pratt & Whitney J52 engines, this aircraft was a sight to behold. The photograph captures XV470 G in its prime, adorned with the distinctive markings of No.19 Squadron. The squadron, which was formed in 1916, has a rich and storied history, having participated in numerous campaigns and conflicts, including both World Wars and the Falklands War. This particular Phantom served at RAF Wildenrath from 1969 to 1992, before being transferred to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus for display as 9156M. The image, taken in the 1980s, serves as a poignant reminder of the Phantom's storied history and the vital role it played in the RAF's inventory. The Phantom's legacy continues to resonate with aviation enthusiasts and military history buffs alike, making this photograph a must-have for any collection.
