THE POLE COLLECTION

These pictures supplied by Martin Pole. They are free for personal use but if you wish to redistribute them or make any other use of them you must contact him for his permission.

  1. RAF Wattisham, 17th September 1991 - FGR.2 XT899 of 19 Sqn.
  2. Same day, same place - FGR.2 XV408 of 92 Sqn in a similar scheme. So who copied who?
  3. Same day, same place - FGR.2 XV426 of 56 Sqn grinning for the camera.
  4. Sorry, too good to resist... :)

  1. Same day, same place - FGR.2 XV490 of 23 Sqn, in Falklands colours to boot.
  2. Well you've probably guessed by now there was a photocall on - here's the full line-up!
  3. FG.1 XV582 of 111 Sqn at Mildenhall, 26th May 1990. "Black Mike" was a popular airshow visitor needless to say!
  4. F.3 ZE359 of 74 Sqn, retiring to Duxford, 24th September 1991. Later she was repainted in USN colours and put on display in the American Air Museum there.

THE MCGHEE COLLECTION

These pictures supplied by Tom McGhee. They are free for personal use but if you wish to redistribute them or make any other use of them you must contact him for his permission.

  1. XT899 of 19 Sqn looking rather less pristine - and less blue! - than in the piccy at the top of this page. RAF Akrotiri, February 1987.
  2. FGR.2 XV406 of 228 OCU/64 Sqn, RAF Wattisham.
  3. Same place, same day - FGR.2 XV465 of 19 Sqn.
  4. RAF Akrotiri, and F.3 ZE353 taxis out while an Omani Jaguar skulks in the background.

  1. No mistaking this hangar - RAF Wattisham, and F.3 ZE353 shortly after delivery, yet to gain a black tail, and still bearing '903' on her nose gear door (her 'Iran' no. in the USN was F903). The slightly odd blue-grey paint applied by the Yanks shows up well in this shot.
  2. F.3 ZE359 at RAF Akrotiri, some time later, 74 Sqn having by now painted some of their F.3's tails black. Note the demarcation line of the two greys on the radome - F.3s were definitely not standard in the paintwork department!
  3. F.3 ZE362, Akrotiri again, showing another paintwork variation - single colour radome, but no black tail.
  4. And finally, wave bye bye - F.3 ZE363 taxiing back to the hangars at Wattisham.
