British - Phantom's

Post by bigcrow » Wed Oct 09, 2024 12:54 pm

Haven't posted from the archives for a long time, so how about a few RAF Phantom's. All mine or my late fathers Mike Freer photos, all taken on either Kodachrome 25 or 64.

Superb, every one a winner. The clean F4Js are fantastic.

I think some of the comments by others sum it up, there are some stunners here and I've really enjoyed viewing them. Love the Navy examples, but also the rest, many thanks for sharing them with us.
PS: Got any more?

Wonderful.
My wife always used to laugh at me when I called Phantoms 'a proper aeroplane'.
These are 'proper photographs' that do them justice.
Thank you.
