Of the total 5,195 Phantoms built this was one of the 118 FGR2s ordered for the RAF & RN and was delivered to RAF Coningsby for service with No 6 Sqdn in April 1969. Her last operational sortie was in July 1992 and arrived at the RAF Museum a few months later. In 1979 this aircraft performed a commemorative Trans-Atlantic flight on the 60th anniversary of Alcock and Brown's first crossing. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
