    Typical, hysterical, molly-coddled, Aussie over-reaction. It’s just a fact of life here in South Africa and we get on with living with nature.

    I believe the round red tag is fireproof and the angular grey one is waterproof.

    “Acid Proof ” was the story I got with mine for the angular one.

    Most impressive is the Spanish Civil War collection at Quatros Vientos, Spain,

    I think you mean Cuatro Vientos.

    Ever sat in the back of an F-4? If that RF-4 is making a low-level recce dash, all the Mk.1-eyeball recon the GIB will be capable of will be the position of the sun.
    .

    That is simply just not true in practice.

    Cessna C206? Been on Emmerdale a few times. You can spot it moored up sometimes whilst driving up the Loch.

    I think this should be moved to GA. 😉

    Mod, some of us are talking about a Beaver. 🙂

    If you actually read the web site, you will see that we are talking about their second aircraft.

    DDM I realised that after I’d written it!
    Seriously though a “Piston” Beaver will take 8 O.K. physically, but with luggage and on floats it must be on the limit I would have thought. I wish them well -but having flown in float plane Twin Otters around the Maldives, I think they are pushing the comparison a bit!

    Eight in a Beaver – sounds cozy.

    Blenheims (1’s?) .Greece looks very possible – IIRC it’s not Malta. YH Code ? (YH is possibly 11Sqn (Greece 1941) , conceivably 21Sqn . (It is not a good idea to trust codes as in practice these were often rotated and even invented to cause confusion, the Mid East being no exception)

    I think the code NU+TS may refer to this mob…

    Hi,

    He must have been the first Australian to do it.
    There is a picture of 4 USAF F-111’s “torching” simultanously over Nellis AFB, just after they came back from SEA which would date it in the autumn of 1973.

    Cheers, Transall.

    I was careful with my words -note ” In Public”
    IIRC this practice was banned by the USAF for Public Displays. Thanks anyway for the info.
    Interesting to note that having a fuel jettison pipe over potential afterburner exhaust is all that is required.
    Anybody else do it on other types?
