Corgi McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 Royal Navy Diecast Model - Scale 1:48

This is a 1:48 exacting scale model of the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 XT864/007R No.892 Naval Air Squadron Fleet Air Arm HMS Ark Royal
Although the history of British aviation can boast many famous aeroplanes amongst its ranks, there can be few that were as visually striking as the mighty Phantom FG.1s of the Royal Navy, which operated from the diminutive deck of HMS Ark Royal. In the seconds prior to launch and whilst connected to the ships steam catapult, the aircrafts nose wheel oleo would be extended to its maximum 40 inch position, giving the Phantom a distinct nose up attitude to increase the efficiency of engine thrust.

With steam rising eerily from the ships deck, Navy Phantoms looked like a giant metal praying mantis, ready to spring into action at a moments notice. With maximum afterburner selected and the engine power almost melting the ships deck, the Phantom was finally released from its shackles and roared into the air one such a spectacular experience for anyone lucky enough to see it. Although most of us will have only ever seen the operation of Ark Royals Phantoms on video or in reference books, these iconic images left such an indelible impression that Britains Rolls Royce Spey powered Phantoms have since become something of an enigma and still command huge enthusiast interest to this day.
