Another brilliant selection Dennis :clap:
That taxi way at the Rwy25 (east) end of Bentwaters was just unbelievable for photography.
Thanks for the memory on these - your TLC on the Kodachrome has paid off :thumbs:

Must have been a marvellous place to spend a day back in the 70s, with all those colourful F4s. Unfortunately it was pretty much wall-to-wall A10s before I had much chance to visit down that way. Nothing wrong with A10s of course, but these relatively hi-viz Phantoms are hard to beat. Thanks for posting.
