These walk-around photos were taken at the Imperial War Museum Duxford in 2018, where the aircraft is displayed in the American Air Museum. They show a McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II, bureau number 155529 — one of the most iconic jet fighters of the Cold War era and the most produced American supersonic military aircraft in history. Originally developed for the US Navy as a fleet defence interceptor, the Phantom went on to serve with the US Air Force and numerous foreign air forces, seeing extensive combat over Vietnam and in several Middle East conflicts. This particular aircraft was built in 1967 and entered US Navy service in March 1968, initially assigned to VF-33 aboard USS America before transferring to VF-74 — the "Be-Devilers" — still aboard the same carrier. During 1972 alone it flew 88 hours of combat missions over Vietnam. After its US Navy career it was transferred to the Royal Air Force in 1984 as ZE359, serving with No. 74 Squadron as part of a batch of 15 ex-USN F-4Js acquired to reinforce Britain's air defences following the Falklands War. It was retired and flown to Duxford in 1991, and has since been restored to its 1972 US Navy colours as a VF-74 aircraft.
