The McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.2 was a British variant of the American F-4 Phantom II, adapted for service with the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. It was equipped for ground attack (F), reconnaissance (R), and interception (G) roles, featuring British avionics and Rolls-Royce Spey engines for better low-level performance. The FGR.2 served prominently during the Cold War, offering high speed, heavy armament, and versatility in both air defense and strike missions.
