Model and user's country

The McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 are variants of the legendary American fighter F-4 Phantom II, which were produced to special order for the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force (RAF) of the United Kingdom. Both models were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Historical period and application

The British Phantoms were actively used during the Cold War period, carrying out interception, fighter, and strike missions, including airspace defense over the United Kingdom and NATO operations in Western Europe. The FG.1 served mainly in naval aviation aboard Ark Royal-class aircraft carriers, while the FGR.2 was used by the RAF both as a fighter and as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft.
