FSX McDonnell F-4K Phantom 43 Sqdn RAF

McDonnell F-4K Phantom FG.1 XV587 of RAF 43 Squadron comes to life with an early-1980s RAF Leuchars repaint, capturing authentic squadron markings and carefully researched crew names from period photos. Designed for FSX, it requires the Milviz F-4J Phantom II and reflects the jet’s Fleet Air Arm roots and later RAF service.

This is a repaint for the Milviz F-4J, of XV587, an F-4K Phantom FG.1 of 43 Squadron RAF, based at RAF Leuchars during the early 1980's. The crew names applied are the best I can make from the photos I can find. Initially allocated to 892 Sqdn of the Fleet Air Arm, it transferred to the RAF in 1978 when HMS Ark Royal was decommissioned and remained with 43 Squadron till retirement in 1991. It was scrapped at Haningford in 1993. By Dave Quincey.
