Phantom FGR.2 XV474 at Duxford, 20th March 2022; Adam Poultney
XV474 served with 2, 17, 19, 23, 31 and 56 Squadrons, and was the first RAF F-4 to appear in the air defence grey scheme. Acquired by the OFMC after retirement because of the late Mark Hanna (himself an ex-F-4 pilot of course), the original intention was to fly her in private hands. Sadly that plan seems to have been a bit ambitious, and with Mark's untimely death, the plan died with him.
After many years sat outside at the IWM, Duxford, she was at last put undercover in Hangar 4 where she still remains on display today.
