Thanks for a fantastic set of photo`s! I can almost smell the Avtur & the hot brakes! XT870 was the last a/c to be catapulted off the Ark! I was lucky to spend 24 years on Phantom development & repair. Modded a few of these. esp. 412 & 574, happy days.

[Snoop 95]

A phantastic set, every one superb, but for me number one takes the biscuit. The aircraft against the dark cloud is an iconic shot. Congrats!

Great collection

Phucking phabulous

Know what you mean Paddy!

Great update Stuart - great shots of the USAFE Phantoms! Can remember sitting in my Grandfathers back garden just outside Mannheim in 1987 drinking a beer in the sun - heard a roar - looked up to see 2 smokey F-4s coming across the blue sky weaving side to side, the SP tail codes visible as they went by low and close - great memories!

Cheers

Absolutely great set, may I ask what scanner you used for these pictures.

Thanks for the comments guys. I use a Nikon Coolscan IV all shot on Kodachrome 25/64
