Some nice images, but whats with the watermarks?

Personally I think you can find better on Flickr and most of them are public domain.

Hi Twinotter,

Wow, it’s a lot bigger than I initially thought. Now I see the pictures of the outside exhibition, I do recognize it from somewhere. Being from Denmark, most of my aircraft museum visits are via Google Earth, but Newark is now on my list for the next trip to the UK.

RDAF/Navy are getting rid of their Lynx helicopters in a few years, so you might want to revisit Karup soon 😀

Nice! That looks like an excellent and diverse little collection. Great to see an old RDAF Draken too, brings back childhood memories of the flying trowel screaming over our house.

To make the story complete, we must remember that the brits fly JAS 39 Gripen, although they actually fly it in Sweden.

I don’t know if sweden train their own test pilots (I think they use the US Navy test pilot school), but Saab/Swedish Air Force worked closely with General Dynamics in developing their fly-by-wire system for JAS 39. Its not impossible that some earlier swedish pilots had expirence flying the F-4 from abroad and the story just got a bit out of hands 😀

Thanks for posting those, I did mean to ask first about your blog, but I was in a hurry to go out.

Hi Pagen,

I was quite happy to find it linked here 😀

Its a public blog and people can do whatever they feel like regarding the images, content and links – thats how the internet works 😎

Here is another taken just down the street from me – the barbershop seen in the lower righthand corner (a hanging drip tray) is still there:

Hi,

I just wanted to upload the picture, but realised Pagen already had linked to it. Anyway here it is:

Hi again,

Great pictures pagen!

@zishelix: thanks for the link, but those are images for sale. I make a habbit of not paying for my internet 😎

This is the kind of post I’m working on: http://www.steampunk.dk/?p=13702

Just a short capture of the era, nothing technical.

Hi Stacey,

Thats a very clever solution, but I’m in danmark :p

I think I will use the images i got now, even if they could be better quality.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Hi Pagan01,

Thanks for the info. I realize it didn’t enter service until 1959, but AFAIK RAF had 9 prototypes and surely the Fleet Air Arm had a few also.

It’s not so much information I need, as it’s simply for a series of blog-posts with images of early jets – very little text besides the type of aircraft.

Books are not really a solution, as I need to post them on my blog. Flight archive does indeed have some nice images, but they are fairly low resolution. I was hoping for this kind of quality:

September 20, 2010 at 4:43 pm in reply to: BBC. One you either missed or saw. The McGregor BoB programme thread #1140326

McGregor’s friend and travel mate Charlie Boorman is going to be seriously jealous. His granddad flew during the war and Charlie has a bit of warbird buffery in his blood. He had to settle for a ride in a small Spitfire replica during his travels through Australia.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing the program with McGregor – may the Air Force be with him.

I always imagined that airframes would have been broken down further to aid removal of steel, copper and other likely contaminants rather than just dipping such a big chunk of TBM straight into the pot …

Me too. Thats why I found the picture so interesting that it got its own thread, even if it really should have been in the scrapyard thread 🙂

Ouch a crime on so many levels including global warming 😮

After more than 73 million dead, polution was probably far from their minds…

I certainly think Fiona archived what she set out to do – make the viewer relate to the work. This thread has 31 posts, which is more than some threads entirely about Historic Aviation.

Personally I actually really like the installation, in particular the Jag part. My local museum only have bloody Rembrandts, van Gough, van Dyck and the likes of them 😀
