F-4J(UK) Phantom of the RAF

• ... that the F-4J(UK) Phantoms used by the Royal Air Force were so different from the RAF's other Phantoms, they even required crews to wear American flying helmets?

Improved to Good Article status by Hammersfan (talk). Self-nominated at 13:15, 9 July 2015 (UTC).

• New enough (passed GA on 9 July), long enough, fully referenced. Nice PD image on Commons. Hook fine. AGF on offline source. No QPQ required. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:03, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

• ... that the RAF purchased 15 second hand F-4 Phantoms (pictured) to expand their fleet in 1984?

• You've not linked the target article... Prioryman (talk) 23:24, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

• I added a bold link, while keeping all existing wording and links. It could certainly be done differently, including with a new hook. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:41, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

• I think that that is the best hook, but it could be enhanced by adding "which were regarded as better than the ones already in service". However, the fact that they had to buy second hand ones is often seen as worthy of mention wherever the Phantom in UK service is discussed. Hammersfan (talk) 09:10, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
