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. -- Cheers Dave Kearton  |

Looking at the picture I would say it is a J model. Regards, Herman  |

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.....  |
