EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.2 XT912, a iconic military aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the late 1960s. The image, taken circa 1969, depicts the sleek and powerful fighter jet as it soars through the sky, leaving a trail of vapor in its wake. The Phantom FGR.2, with its distinctive twin-engine configuration and delta wing design, was a formidable addition to the RAF's fleet. This particular aircraft, XT912, was assigned to 228 Operational Conversion Unit. Operational Conversion Units are responsible for training pilots and maintaining the readiness of operational squadrons. The Phantom FGR.2 was a versatile aircraft, capable of performing various roles including interception, ground attack, and reconnaissance. Its advanced avionics and weapons systems made it a potent force in the air. The Phantom's service with the RAF spanned over four decades, from the late 1960s to the early 2010s. It was a testament to the aircraft's durability and versatility. The Phantom's retirement marked the end of an era in RAF aviation history. This photograph is a reminder of the Phantom's storied past and its significant contribution to the RAF's air power. It is a snapshot of a bygone era in aviation, a time when the Phantom ruled the skies.
