The Phantom formed a major part of the Royal Air Force’s combat aircraft strength for over twenty years and provided the Service with one of the world’s most capable strike fighters. Two versions of the Rolls Royce Spey-powered Phantom entered service with the RAF, the FG1 – the version also used by the Royal Navy – in the interceptor role and the FGR2 in the ground attack and tactical reconnaissance role in Germany. From 1977, all the RAF Phantoms were used exclusively as interceptor fighters over United Kingdom air-space.
