Bloody wonderful aircraft...... such a sad way to see this aircraft end its days..... bit of a shame the last two display FGR2's were never flown in markings like these... XV404 had well past her flying hours by the time she was painted in the tiger markings.... Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emlra Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I believe it was something written into the supply contract from the States. They had either to be returned to the USA or be destroyed when their life expired. Special permission had to be sought to preserve them. They remained US property.

upnorth Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 My understanding is that the fate of many British Phantoms was really caught up in the various arms reduction treaties between the west and the former Soviet Union back in the 80s. I think I read somewhere that one of those treaties stipulated that Britian had to destroy, not just put into storage, a certain amount of its military gear and the Phantoms were part of that. Basically the wreckage had to be clearly visible from satelites. Of course, in the post Socialist era, if the Phantoms were still American property (for whatever a clocked out aircraft is worth to anyone beyond museum space or a range target) then it would be a case of whatever America said to do with them. It is nice to see that a few of the Spey Phantoms have survived, rather unique variant of the family they were. I took these pics of XT899 at Kbely Air Museum in Prague in July of 2007. She's a tad faded, but otherwise being well cared for by the looks of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
