Caught in a moment of airborne grace, this original colour photograph captures the RAF Phantom FGR.2 XV439 in mid-flight, undercarriage down and flaps deployed–an arresting sight for anyone with a passion for Cold War jet interceptors. With its distinctive grey camouflage, Royal Air Force roundel, and tail code “X,” this image evokes the power and readiness of Britain’s tactical squadrons during a critical chapter of NATO defence.

This photograph, developed on premium Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, measures approximately 6 x 4 inches and is an authentic period original, not a reprint or copy. Though previously mounted using small double-sided tape and bearing archival numbering on the reverse, it remains in decent condition, having passed internal quality control. The aircraft’s serial number XV439 is clearly visible along with colourful squadron insignia on the tail, adding visual richness and historical integrity.

Ideal for collectors of RAF Cold War aircraft, McDonnell Douglas Phantoms, or British interceptor history, this photo is more than an image–it is a tribute to a generation of high-speed readiness, technological confidence, and sky-defending determination.
