The Europe One scheme looks just right on the Phantom.

 

Are 69-0304 and 69-7232 carrying drill Standard ARM rounds ?

They are AGM-88 HARM training rounds.

Brilliant. You can only imagine the hustle and bustle that must have been going on.

I thank you for posting these Sven, I dig the crewman crashed on the spine taking a nap.

Hello Sven,

      If you ever get this can I ask do you have any other photo’s of F-4G 69-0304 ? I ask because Im building her as she started out life as an RAAF F-4E. She was returned and converted to a F-4G in the 1970’s. Im trying to find any more photo’s of her patterns and schemes. Because I’d like to show her in a later scheme. I have this photo here in her Euro scheme and also in her final Hill scheme. Any help would be great if you can if not I appreciate this photo being posted so I can find it.

Roger that! The F-4G was the prettiest version of them all, especially in the Hill scheme!

Seems like yesterday since I was there recovering the RAF Buccaneer detachment while on the ATF. I remember the F-4Gs well.

Another great set of pics Sven. Your archives  cover just about the most interesting period of types, markings and camo schemes; top stuff!
