Phantom FG.1 XV588 crashed on take off from Leuchars in May 1977. 20 years later she still languished on the fire dump at the Eastern end of the base by the beach. Just recognisable as a Phantom a this point.
This was the one and only time I made it to the beach at Leuchars to take pictures, hence uploading this less than perfect shot. I guess I was just too lazy in those days to make the effort 🙁
