Gary West Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I used to be a bit of a Phantom freak. After the F4's left RAF service in 1992, I was lucky enough to live right on top of one of the largest disposal companies in Essex. I took these between 1992 - 1994. Here's a small selection of quite a few photos. One or two airframe components still in the garden too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeke Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I was at RAF St.Athan when they were scrapping some of these beautiful old beasts, back in the 80's...they were doing it with a JCB, rotary saws and fire-axes!...I cried... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Looks like there are a few other interesting snippets in there as well. In the last pic, you can just about make out what was either a canberra T4 or PR9 fuselage - there were both there at the time plus a T22. There was a Harrier GR3, Viscount and some tanks too. Remind me to tell you about the meeting with the big F off dog one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
