As I recall, the original RN Spey-engined Phantoms were 'K's.


As a result of increased responsibilities after the Falklands war, a couple
of squadrons of 'J's were purchased for the RAF, to make up the numbers.


I think the slick radome birds are the best looking Phantoms. The
early D's we had at Hahn had the slick radome in the late 1960's.....
