Phantom FGR2 XV474 56Sqn Alconbury 30th March 1979 - another shot of 474 - doesn't look like the weather was too sharp!

Hi Dennis, lovely set yet again! :thumbs: I particularly like the 56sqn machines with the flamboyant markings before the toning down. All of your images are brilliant though. :D

Thanks again

Cheers Glenn :thumb:

Another fine set dennis273, i used to use Kodachrome 64 and in poor weather and light, getting anything decent was a challenge, i think it adds to the effect of the image.
Cheers.

Thanks for posting this series. Nice varied shots of the RAF Phantoms in service and good to see all the different marking variations over the years.
