1972?? I hear you ask....! But 74 Sqn disbanded at Tenagh on the 31st August 1971...?
Well, thats correct and it`s well known that it was another 13+ years before 74 reformed and got their F-4J(UK)`s.
However, what isn`t well known is that as with all Sqn disbandments, rumour control took over, and it was widely believed, if not accepted at the time, that the `Tigers` would reform in a matter of months on another type of cat.
Even Doug Tidy, author of `I Fear No Man` wrote at the time that he was looking forward to possibly seeing these two cats merge into a `hybrid`.
