| Phantom Country by Simon Atack. At the height of the Cold War during the 1970s and through the 80s, low level, fast-jet training sorties were absolutely crucial to Britains air defences. This was an era of the true, thoroughbred supersonic jet fighter like arguably the greatest of all jet combat aircraft of that time; the McDonnell Douglas F.4 Phantom. Scorching down the peaceful beauty of the Spey river valley, Scotland, four RAF Phantom FG-1s led by (at that time) Wg. Cdr. Ian Macfadyen and his navigator flying XV500, flash over Craiglockhart Castle on an ultra low-level training sortie during the squadrons period of transition from its formation at RAF Conningsby to its home station at RAF Leuchars.

| Phantom Farewell by Michael Rondot. Old fighters never die and they dont fade away either. They live on in the hearts and minds of aircrews, groundcrews and enthusiasts alike. The F-4 Phantom may have reached the end of its front-line service with the RAF but the legend will live on for the big, powerful, beautifully ugly fighter. Revered by its aircrew for both its performance and firepower, the Phantom may be the last fighter-pilots fighter to have seen service with the RAF. Whether flying low-level combat air patrols over Germany, defending the Falkland Islands, or just simply chewing up the Tornado F3s and spitting out the remains over the North Sea, the Phantom has seen it all and done it all. Signed limited edition of 450 prints. Paper size 30 inches x 20 inches (76cm x 51cm). Price £115.00

by
Robert Tomlin This limited edition print is a reminder of the heady days when the McDonnell
Douglas Phantom reigned supreme. Still the definitive Mans
Aircraft, its brute force and clinical efficiency are legend.
The Phantom was loved by its pilots without exception and still held dear
by all who flew in her and had contact with her. Preserved at
Duxford in the UK by the Old Flying Machine Company, this aircraft is
still resplendent in the 74 Tiger Squadron markings. The print shows
the machine blasting off from the runway of RAF Valley during a typical
detachment. Robert Tomlin spent some time at this base and was so
impressed by the performances of the phantom and its crews that he just
had to paint this scene.
Phantom Thunder by Michael Rondot There are few aircraft even today that can match the sheer power and
brute performance of the F4 Phantom, portrayed here on a breathtaking low
level high speed 'lake burner' run.
Phantom Thunder by Philip West An F4 Phantom of 92 Squadron, based at
Wildenraf, Germany, about to
embark on yet another QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) mission to intercept
potential hostile aircraft during the Cold War.
Ark Royal by Philip E West HMS Ark Royal IV - Flagship of the Flag Officer Aircraft Carriers - a

tons, a beam of 168 feet, and was 846 feet long. Ships company
