56Sqn Phantoms

Post by kenny64 » Sun Oct 20, 2024 3:59 pm

A few more Phantoms again at Wattisham but this time back in the 80s when still very active.I think judging by the RAF Hawks in a couple of the shots this was probably one of the annual exercises that were held back then ? Not the best scans but time has taken its toll on the slides.

Nice set, would put them around 1984 without digging into the detail.
