EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1968, the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom FG-1 jets of the Royal Navy's 700P Trials Squadron soar through the clear English sky during the Farnborough Airshow. The Farnborough International Airshow, also known as FAB, is a biennial event that showcases the latest advancements in aviation technology and military aircraft capabilities. The F-4 Phantom II, a supersonic, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range fighter-bomber, was a formidable addition to the Royal Navy's fleet during the late 1960s. The Phantom was renowned for its versatility, as it could be used for both air-to-air combat and ground-attack missions. In this photograph, we see five Phantom FG-1 jets in formation, displaying their impressive agility and power. The jets featured in the photograph are identified as XT861, XT862, XT864, XT867, and are adorned with the distinctive markings of the Royal Navy. The Phantom's sleek design and powerful engines made it a crowd favorite, as evidenced by the large gathering of spectators below, eagerly watching the awe-inspiring display. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the excitement and innovation of the 1968 Farnborough Airshow, where the Royal Navy's McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom FG-1 jets took center stage. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Phantom, which served with numerous military forces around the world for over five decades.
