Thats an amazing video.

I think a light bit of turbulence can be fun, Im fortunate enough to never have expierenced anything bad.

Three hours of severe turbulence on a Philadelphia-Gatwick flight whilst we riding the jetstream. We left PHL about an hour late and still got into Gatwick early but it was rough, extremely rough and very frightening.

And what made it worse for me and my brother was that we were sitting in the third back row in a 767 so we felt the turning motion round the axis of the wings. The crew strapped themselves into the nearest seats to where they were standing and shackled the trolleys as best they could.

I remember the Danes sent a bunch of F-100s over to Leuchars for a week’s deployment back in 1974 or so. It was wonderful sitting on the fence listening to the afterburners banging in with a real thump.

F-104s were pretty wonderful and fairly common visitors to bases in Scotland like Leuchars and Lossiemouth over the years.

The CAF (that’s the Canadians not the Confederates) even put a team of four up at one Greenham airshow.

In a way I feel sorry that the jet fans of today missed out on seeing the early century fighters of the late 60’s and 70’s just like I wish I had been around to see the early jet fighters of the 50s’ and 60’s.

Howlingingly yours….

In the old days Manaston was one of a very few number of aerodromes in the UK that had the capability to put down a complete covering of foam on the runway and various aircraft diverted there when they had undercarriage problems.

Has anyone got a picture of the 1-11 or HS125 with the sea Harrier nose used on the shar development programme?:eek:

What? ZF130?
