    Hi All,
    Thanks Etienne for the article great read all veterans such as Mr Donnet are truly inspirational what I cannot understand is why more aren’t taught about at schools
    weather it’s the Pc brigade or just considered uninteresting I don’t know but in my mind if all where taught they would have a more balanced approach to life and more respect for each other through their own life but Mr Donnet’s story just shows what can be achieved despite how bad your circumstances are and should be a lesson for all to follow in his footsteps.

    Hi All,
    I was based at Scampton and some the story’s told by various Sqn ground crew where quite gob smacking the one that always sticks with me involves Red Flag and a bombing competition the target was at the bottom of a hill but I assume illuminated by radar focussing on the ridge ? allegedly it was achieved with success by the Buccaneers flipping on their backs to follow the contour of the hill the flipping back before release and it was alleged the Vulcan did the same in the true spirit of competition weather it is true or not I would like to find out possibly got facts wrong but the basic story is what I put.

    Hi All,
    mustangboy it is the same Mustang ‘Excalibur’ looks like it could be real trumper as if you Google P-51 Excalibur quite a few images are available but I am trying to find contact info so will e-mail the owner ?. Now owned and flown in the Czech Rep.

    Hi All,
    Can I take it the single door and the rear engine nozzle means they cannot do as the Harrier was capable of viffing pilots called it (Correct me if am wrong please) the whole transition from Horizontal to Vertical flight seems to prolonged to me as with the Harrier it was very fluent. But I agree with Clanwarrior about the the change .
