stevehnz Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Great shots as usual Sven, really useful for the Airfix kit when it emerges, that red railed 56 Sqn one really floats my boat. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Lovely pics! Now that was a real fighter.

Superb Phantom pics... takes me back, I'm just glad I don't have to cross "the pond" in a Herc again. (who am I kidding) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

757flyer Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 To resurrect an older thread, what are those wingtip pods on XV206? They are noticeably different than the rails seen on Dutch Hercs... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racal Orange Blossom ESM Pods an early 80s addition but can't quite remember if during Operation CORPORATE or just after but I am sure before Nimrod got their LORAL Yellowgate ESM pods around the middle of the decade.
