    Hi All.
    Isn’t it more a point of it’s a battlefield memorial service ? Soldiers of all nationalities had their lives taken on both sides. Yes these battles are remembered as certain black days in individual country’s armed services who fought and died because of bad decisions, that shouldn’t give any country who lost more than another the write to dictate who can attend and give remembrance to their fallen.

    The services should be attended by all despite who’s officers ordered what offensive that went so disastrously wrong. Everybody should have the chance to pay their respects no matter what country you are from simple….:stupid:

    Hi All,
    Calm down Calm Down now!…:D

    Sorry to all who are getting very hot under the collar about this post but nobody has addressed my query if anyone can actually forward anymore information on the subject apparently being discussed with the HHA. I would love to see her back in the air but have accepted she has retired, it’s just coming across this article and nobody on the forum mentioning the said aticle it would be appreciated for some additional info and how serious these alleged discussions are ?

    I apologise to all if this thread is causing a bit of grief between some forumites as that was not my intention, just sheer curiosity of the article details and as I am sure the forum has among it’s members those who may have incite or could investigate on my and other interested forumites behalf……:eagerness:

    Hi All,
    Possibly Iraqi Northrop A-17 doing a crazy low-level flight, apparently under a bridge. RAFM research indicates it may be the Al Shahuda bridge spanning the Tigris in Baghdad: This image taken from the http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234993600-iraqi-northrop-a-17-cool-low-flying-shot/ courtesy of their member mhaselden

    Hi All,
    CD,
    Talking of engines I was wondering about the engines from the overseas donated Vulcans that’s a total 16 (12 In the USA & 4 in Canada) what happened to them ?with reference to keeping the XH558 in the air, as I assume that none of those abroad were ever planned to be used as taxi capable aircraft….:confused:
