If you click on the link ‘background’ you will see just how brown the radome was. Regards Andrew Andrew, I had previously checked your background story because I was intrigued by the brown radome. The radomes are, indeed, this colour when manufactured and unfinished and in this respect you have nailed the colour. A very clear photograph (albeit of a 111 Sqn FGR.2) on Page 80 of the AirDoc Publication book on British Phantoms (Vol 5 of the Ultimate F-4 Phantom II Collection) by Patrick Martin confirms this. Another photo, on Page 13 of the same publication provides an indication of how these radomes looked after an application of grey that has, then, subsequently faded over time and use. Depending on the light (especially if it was harsh as in Malta and Cyprus during Armament Practice Camps), the radomes could take on a decidedly brown hue, even on the original black painted versions during the late 1970s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
