Historical background:
 
- In the 1980s, FG.1 Phantoms were based primarily at RAF Leuchars, providing QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) coverage against Soviet aircraft over the North Sea.
- These aircraft were transferred from the Royal Navy to the RAF after the retirement of aircraft carriers. They replaced the aging Lightning interceptors with more capable, longer-range fighters.
