Originally built as a F-4M and first flown on 20 November 1968. It was delivered to RAF 2sq, on most probably 31 January 1969. XV430 is seen here afterits arrival from homebase RAF Wildenrath (Germany) at the static of Koksijde. At that time, already redesignated to FGR2. After a long operational career, the Phantom was withdrawn from use on 5 July 1991. It was first stored for a period at RAF Wattisham, but then scrapped at that location in February 1992.
