Airfix McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1/FGR.2.
With the RAF already operating Phantoms initially intended for the
Royal Navy at Leuchars air base in Fife, the withdrawal of HMS Ark
Royal in 1978 meant that they also inherited the rest of the Fleet
Air Arm Phantom fleet. Nos 43 and 111 Squadrons would use the
Phantom FG.1 to defend Britains airspace until 1989, when they both
converted to the BAe Tornado F.3.
