Dusted off a few more shelves and found these extra few from around the same time.

The Tornado had just been brought back from the Gulf after it had run off the runway and broke in half just around the Nav seat. There was still loads of sand stuff in it.

Not too sure what was happening to the Argosy aircraft?, the one in bits seemed to be in epoxy primer and being restored rather than being scrapped. Bit of a mystery that one

Rumour had it that the Canberra`s were sold of £1 each. I think they were all ex RN aircraft??.

That Phantom went round n round

A couple more.

The Double Bucc mod wasn`t a great success and i believe only this prototype was ever made. Seen here about to perform a flypast

😉

..

Who said anything about scrapping??

and the last i think for now??, Also added a few comings n goings whilst down there.. i might just add that i did visit the hanger a couple of times after and let some civvy mates in through the back door so to speak

That a young daft me me in the back seat of the Messerschmitt bubble car with a Spitfire on our six

SUMOR

It was a Facebook friend of mine who took the picture. The Venezuelan K8 was from the General Rafael Urdaneta AFB AND was performing a flypast for a special parade celebrating the Air Forces 92nd anniversary in Maracay when a mechanical failure took place. The pilots both survived and were from the Special Ops Air Group no15..

The sudden pitch down would occur due to the aircrafts low speed and being in landing configuration. The low speed being recognized by the fact both crew are high and above the aircraft rather than being further back if the aircraft was at high speed at this point. At the low speed and low hight the aircraft was probably being held back on the stick by the pilot to counter the low slung drag of the undercart and the forward pitching action flaps create when lowered with added engine power to maintain a slow rate of descent. Once he let go of the stick during the ejection the aircraft would naturally pitch quickly forward.. Engine failure was probably at fault judging by the rather controled look of the aircraft
