 The British Phantom Aviation Group are delighted to announce a partnership with footwear designers and manufacturers I Love A Hangar.  A percentage of the proceeds of the sales of this new range of UK Phantom themed items will go directly to support the BPAG and its work.  The first results of our collaboration, celebrating both XT597 and XT582 ‘Black Mike’ are available through the I Love A Hangar website now.

Many thanks to the Trenchard Museum for the recent generous donation of this pair of genuine F-4 components- Nozzle Position Indicator and O2 Control Panel (complete with AR5 NBC modification). Cockpit parts are high on our wish list, so these contributions are particularly welcome. You can help us thank the museum by visiting and supporting their work. The museum is located at RAF Halton, is open to the public and well worth a visit. More details at their website- https://www.trenchardmuseum.org.uk/

This weekend is CockpitFest 2022 at Newark Air Museum. This two day charitable event is one of the highlights of our calendar and provides a focal point for cockpit owners from across the UK and always features an impressive line up of cockpit sections, panel displays and numerous other guest contributions.

The BPAG will be on site, XV490’s cockpits will be open for tours and exclusive Phantom merchandise will be available. Gates open at 9am on Saturday (tomorrow) and 10am on Sunday. More details on the event page of NAM’s website- http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/Cockpit-Fest_22_Quick_Guide

The BPAG returned to the Cosford Airshow last weekend, for the first time since 2018.  Although our location was at the far end of the hanger line, the proximity of the F-35, Typhoon, Hawks and Gazelle as well as the STEM facilities nearby meant we were easy to find and our cockpit visit crews and volunteers behind the merch stall were flat out from the time the gates opened.  Many thanks to all our members and volunteers for their hard work and to everyone who dropped by the stall and purchased merchandise or made a donation. Thanks also go out to the Cosford Airshow organising committee for the invite to this year’s show, we will look forward to coming back in 2023.
