Campaign to save Phantom FG.1 XV582 Black Mike

On 24th Feb 1988 Phantom FG.1 XV582 became the first RAF F-4 to pass 5,000 flying hours, at the same time undertaking a ...record-breaking run from Land's End to John O'Groats in 46min 44sec. The flight averaged over 757mph for the 590-mile distance and was flown by 43 Sqn's CO Wg Cdr John Brady with navigator Sqn Ldr Mike Pugh. Today she remains at RAF Leuchars in Fife, but for how long? The campaign to save Phantom FG.1 XV582 "Black Mike" from the scrap man starts here! Only on facebook at the moment, but hopefully a website soon. https://www.facebook.com/groups/168331859984300/
