First off, apologies for the crappy photos, I thin my camera id on it's way out.
Anyways, this is my latest addition to the SIG's 2008 Telford theme, and I hope it's going to make a head turner for people. I hope it's going to make a number of people do a double take and turn a few heads.

In the late 1970's the RAF brought about 40 F4E's for the specific purpose of running standing patrols over the GIUK gap, and a new wing was formed out of Kinloss to accommodate this. One of the squadrons that made up this wing was no 41SQN as shown here.
This is a standard 'E' model phantom in MSG/LAG colour scheme with the standard air to air complememnt of Sidewinders, Sparrows (later Fireflash) and fuel tanks for loiter ability.

Nice one Lancer, sure to get a few scratching their heads!

The camera might be okay in the main, just could be a problem with the autofocus. See if it's fixable without being pricey, if not is there a manual focus on it?

When you mean air power you mean F-4Es...NICE

I know that my little digital gets finnicky when it's batteries are low.  Even though it looks like everything is functioning, it won't focus correctly.  Especially in lower light levels inside.

I like the simplicity of this one.  Less is always More.
