    Hi All,
    Doesn’t the RAF reserve collection hold a quantity of Sterling airframe parts and why are they keeping them when the Stirling project could actually do something with them ?

    Hi ALL,
    DCW,
    Lovely shots of N3200, as always your camera work up to par excellence can I ask is it just me or does there seem to be a mismatch in the green ? on the
    pilots door Image 2. and on the fuselage panel Image 4. ? it looks like they may have been painted separately from the rest of the aircraft and if so is this common practise ?

    Hi All,
    I must say that when I first watched on Youtube there was little doubt in my mind, but having viewed it a few times I think it’s real, I think what a lot of people forget when you observe the muzzle flash you view not as it happens but seconds after, that plus the aircraft is coming directly at the camera alters the prospective when viewed and this would explain why the muzzle flash seems higher than you would expect.(If my theory is wrong please correct)
    Not being an expert in this filed the above description is all I can think of, just like an aircraft flying past you hear the noise of where it was not where it is I suppose it’s the same with any thing to the matter, what struck me was the balls of the cameraman and the accuracy of the pilot spot as far as I can tell.:D

    Hi All,
    I have seen a couple of artist impressions of future bomber aircraft and this link was interesting, http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military/planes-uavs/how-the-next-gen-stealth-bomber-will-work-15438875 also this

    Any of the above look promising as stated in the article to judge the size is quite hard but this reminds me of the grainy F-117 picture being released could there now be another similar release where this aircraft has been spotted ? Unless it’s the next gen Vulcan :highly_amused:

    Hi All,
    Winter Hawk by Craig Thomas, was saddened to learn he had passed away in 2011 a much missed author of very good thrillers.
