Description

Phantom Patrol – The Story Behind the Print

Philip E. West’s Phantom Patrol captures a scene familiar to RAF Quick Reaction Alert crews during the Cold War.

Two FG1 Phantoms from RAF Leuchars intercept a Soviet Tupolev Tu-142 long-range surveillance aircraft between the Shetlands and Faroe Islands. Carrying a full missile fit and long-range tanks, the Phantoms escort the aircraft away from the UK air-defence region.

QRA crews maintained readiness day and night and in all weather, launching to identify and monitor approaching aircraft when required.

All editions are signed and numbered by Philip E. West.
