    The UK Phantom Heritage center

    Hi all,

    I've only just become aware of an extremely worthy project that's just got underway down the road from me at the former RAF Kemble site.

    The Phantom group have managed to acquire all three variants of the amazing Phantom that served the RAF, namely the F4K, F4M and F4J.

    This is all the more impressive as the the UKicon Phantom fleet was sacrificed as our contribution to the Conventional Arms Reduction Treaty.

    This meant that aircraft had to be guillotined and left for Sovieticon Satellites to varify destruction....

    For this reason, very few were spared the scrap man....

    They have a hell of a task in front of them, to construct a building and restore three Phantoms as a heritage centre.

    I will hopefully be pitching in as work and time allows to do my bit.

    Anyway, a worthy cause guys, for an overlooked UK Cold War Warrior!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
