Wow!
Both excellent shots but that first one is especially good.
It always interested me as an Air Cadet going on annual camps to find out just how many bases had a phantom as a gate guardian. Even though I never visited Waddington, I'll add it to the list.

The Phantom is a wonderfully agressive looking aircraft and an easily identifiable symbol of hte cold war. That example looks mint - after so many were scrapped when they were withdrawn from service because of conditions attached to their sale to the UK :sad: Lets hope this one serves its time out as a gate guard and then goes to a museum!
