Thanks for the HU Stevo
Been wondering how Wattisham was coming on and thought only yesterday.. the world needs AI Phantoms
They both look stunning
Can't wait to add this to my collection

Although my time at Wattisham with 23 Sqn phantoms pre dates the HAS sites, I am looking forward to this one, superb.

Shy boys get nowt Dave
I'd really love to get the cats at Thurleigh working, but the other option is to bastardise an airfile on an ai aircraft to give it STOL characteristics so as it looks like its been CAT launched.

Hmm.. better if it's a tail-hook/carrier aircraft too. I can sit and watch Phantoms cat launch all day

The NAD Phantom was indeed a proper RN aircraft,

Looks very nice!
Don't remember the base - I only went there once during my old man's 3 year posting there (EES), must have been about 1975. I do remember kipping on the back seat of the car (Triumph Herald
) all the way home, though!
I'm going to really enjoy flying the IRIS Phantoms from here.
