More or less. The RN got them I think about a year before the RAF started operating them. The RAF just gained more when the RN stopped flying them. - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
Lurch1o Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Sorry Gents, just an old standing joke that was resurrected a short while ago over a few beers in Singapore between myself and an old mate, Throb! No factual basis. Apologies!
joey45 Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 The refit of Eagle was gonna be too much so only Ark Royal could operate the F4 so the RAF got Phantoms as well. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
