These machines were specially adapted to the needs of the Royal Navy and the RAF and received the designations FG.1 (F-4K) and FGR.2 (F-4M).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritish Phantoms differed from the American versions. They were equipped with locally produced Rolls-Royce Spey engines, modern electronics and a modified design that allowed them to operate from smaller aircraft carriers, such as the HMS Ark Royal. They were among the most technically advanced aircraft of their time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years, RAF Phantoms patrolled the skies over Europe, based both in Great Britain and in West Germany. During the Falklands War, they played a significant role in the defence of the archipelago – first operating from a base on Ascension Island, and later from the airport in Port Stanley.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COBI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56939419435383,"sku":"COBI-5908","price":52.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/5464\/5130\/files\/cobi-bricks-f-4m-phantom-ii-fgr2-5514615.png?v=1774691666","url":"https:\/\/www.phillipshobbies.co.uk\/products\/cobi-bricks-f-4m-phantom-ii-fgr-2","provider":"Phillips Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
