Why is this a sticky, they are fairly common on ebay, sold two myself.?

Has to be the single seat Hunter with the Mirage III close behind….on the Mirage anyone remember a kid’s TV series about the exploits of two French Mirage pilots late 60’s early 70’s?

Yes the “aeronauts”. (Crap) 😀

Yes I did plan the shot and I had to do it bloody quick as a truckload of schoolkids where on their way in and the other photographer was an acceptable blemish as apposed to two thousand kids 😡 .

Must try harder next time!! :p .

Hi all.
Don’t you think that the person who Ken says he met might just have been some sad disabled young man puting on an RAF uniform because he looked like Bader and he would get the odd drink or two if people were gullible enough to fall for his bullsh%t. I remember two dutch guys dressed in flight overalls used to turn up in the Tiger pub every year at Mildenhall airshow, swore blind thay were F 16 pilots, a bit sad realy. All this might be B*llocks but no more B*llocks than Bader being in Liverpool in 42, unless Colditz was an open prison 😀

But holding entire populations to account for the actions of a few twisted violent criminals is, itself, an act of terrorism.

IMHO, at least.

A few, wake up ppplease.

Lasers could be of some use in fighter v fighter during the merge and start of WVR, where the enemy head on to you is locked up and a laser is slewed to it and dazzles the cockpit with a light show good enough to do temporary blindness or even damage the eyes. This would be most likely a suprise that would work a few times until some kind of countermeasure could be developed. Effectively a mission kill at the merge.

Not unlike the one Navy P-3 crew member that suffered eye damage when a laser rangefinder from a naval vessel was pointed at him.

I think we used lasers on Royal navy ships in the Falklands war to blind enemy pilots.
