	McDonnell Douglas RF-4C Phantom 64-1077, of the 10th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing (TRW), USAF based at RAF Alconbury, UK in 1967. Production of 1,000 pieces, of which only a few came to the UK. At Alconbury the 10th TRW retained the 1st and 30th TRS's with their RB-66s until May 1965 when it began conversion to the RF-4C Phantom. The 10th TRW expanded on 15 August 1966 by the addition of the 32nd TRS. This squadron had formerly flown RF-101 Voodoos with the 66th TRW at Laon-Couvron Air Base, France but was now equipped with RF-4Cs, becoming the third tac recon squadron at RAF Alconbury. The first production RF- 4C flew in May 1964. The RF- 4C was an unarmed recon variant designed for information gathering. This variant is quite easy to recognize from other F-4 variants because of the distinctive nose. The larger nose was designed to accommodate radar, sensors and flat windows for cameras. During its years of service the RF-4C used two nose variations. The original design was the angular version with a later design that had a smoother rounded camera bulge. There were 503 RF- 4cs built with 499 being officially accepted by the USAF. Very low production run of around 1,200 models, of which only a few were imported to the UK.
