A shortage of Phantoms in the RAF resulted in No. 74 Squadron initially reequipping with fifteen refurbished U.S. Navy F-4J Phantoms at Wattisham, Suffolk, on 1st July 1984. Designated as the F-4J (UK), these aircraft were known as the F.Mk.3 in RAF service and initially wore their U.S. Navy overall light blue-gray finish, before being repainted in RAF gray. ZE360 is depicted in its initial squadron markings when delivered to No. 74 Squadron, coded ÌÎ_Ì´ÌàÌÎ_ÌÎå¬OÌÎ_Ì´ÌàÌÎ_Ì´åÇ, before they decided to paint the aircraft fins black. When other squadrons relinquished their Phantom FGR.2s, No. 74 Squadron replaced their F.3s with that variant and ZE360 was retired to the Fire Training School at RAF Manston, Kent, where it is still extant today.
