Flying the Phantom - The F-4 in RAF Service

The latest in the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum's continuing series of aviation and modelling lectures is sure to appeal to all aviation enthusiasts, particularly those with an interest in the fast jets of the Royal Air Force.

Sqn Ldr Dave Hunt flew the McDonnell - Douglas F-4 Phantom in both the Strike/Attack and Air Defence roles and went on to be the Project Pilot for the acquisition and rebuilding of former U.S. Navy F-4N's & J's to Phantom F.3 specification for the RAF's 74 (Tiger) Squadron, during 1983 - 86. He subsequently flew the Tornado F.3.
