FOD covers (Foreign Object Damage covers) are specialized covers used when aircraft are parked on the tarmac to protect the engines from foreign objects such as stones, sand, or dust. In the case of the British Phantom, as in other countries operating this fighter, these covers were used during extended parking at RAF bases and on Royal Navy aircraft carriers during the Cold War era, in the 1960s and 1970s. The British Phantoms F-4 FG.1 and FGR.2 were operated by the Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm on patrol and defensive missions up until the early 1990s.
