This, Ladies and Gentlemen, is what happens when the Royal Navy sends its lovely F-4 FG.1's over to the US for a visit to Oceana NAS, they get "Zapped"!!!
Dave.. I agree, at least they didnt do anythign too outragous!!
No.. you're right Andy, it could have been much worse I saw a pair of RN F4's onboard USS Constellation in the Indian Ocean in the 70's ('75) on some sort of 'exchage' I presume but we never got close enough to see any detail in the markings (although the tail, like yours, gave them away in an instant). Our chaps must have thought landing on the Connie was like Heathrow by comparison to the Ark!!
Note: the model mistake has been fixed, it should be the RWR / Tacan model, but my shots above show it on the Non- model, thats fixed here and will be correct when they are put up for download.
