Flying Review
When our Phantom was NEW

 

What's Happening at 2214 ?

Phantastic
PHANTOM!

 

 

Cadets at Usworth thought that halloween had come early when they saw what had landed in their compound! A Phantom FGR2 cockpit has been added to inventory courtesy of the RAF. This makes a fine display opposite the squadrons Vampire T11.
The Phantom is XV460 and served in 19,31,56,74+92 squadrons and 228 OCU. It is currently in 56 Squadron colours (The Firebirds) The aircraft was scrapped as part of the SALT (Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty) So the squadron can now expect regular satellite overflights!

READY FOR TAKEOFF

Thanks to all who voted in the great TeslaCoil debate.45% of you thought we were honest-and we are! They do exist! So ends our conundrum which started in issue 2.That was a picture of Mr Tesla-but his coil is nothing like a Polo mint.You've all seen one-in Dr Frankenstien's laboratory.So, any queries,ask............. George

HAPPIER DAYS

HYLTON REVISITED (Not 'Cauld' Enough)
Continuing our 'Spooky' theme it seems our spelling has come back to haunt us.During our Hylton Castle Millennium edition we talked about the Caad Lad-this should have been the 'Cauld Lad'.As quoted in a century old book.Who are we to argue?

FLYPAST FAME!

Already our Phantom has become famous!It gets a mention in the September issue of 'Flypast'.(Page 17-News) On commenting about the scrapping of ten Phantoms the editor says, "It seems unlikely that we shall see any of these ten in museums."
Well, we have good news. XV460 (cockpit at least) will spend a long and happy life in the North East-courtesy of 2214(Usworth) Squadron
