Here’s just a few from me and plenty more around interesting the amount of bombers being restored especially Lancaster’s, first three not on Facebook just like me 😀 but worth a mention all the same especially G-ACSP The Black Comet well worth a £10 donation imagine two comets flying :eagerness: :eagerness: :-

Hop you enjoy them all 😉

Great web page, I read in one of my books that the Aussies loved the phantom so much they wanted to keep them and cancel the F111 order but there was some shenanigans in Washington on behalf of the companies behind the F111 to make them take the aardvark.

Hi All,
them shenanigans again seems to me they got in the way of the TSR2 :love-struck: order from the Ausies that would have partly secured it’s future :confused:
That is not to say the F-111 was not a capable aircraft but as Si says HEY!!!! 😀

Geoff.

Hi All,
Any pictures of the Beaufighter or is it still not being worked on as someone posted please :eagerness: :love-struck:

Geoff.

[QUOTE=Easyrider5258;2041799]Picture taken in the eighty’s, I have assumed this shot was at RAF Bentwaters, but it seems not, its possibly RAF Alconbury, but cant find any other photos featuring the Scotts pines in the background, scenery does not fit with Lakenheath or Mildenhall either so at a loss ???

Hi All,
I remember being at Brum International during the late 70’s plane spotting tons of them a lovely little plane BOOM 😮 from BAC-111 to F-111 :applause:
I Know I Know I Know the ausies should have bought TSR2 (Another thread another day :dev2:) Enjoy all 😀

Geoff.

Duxman & Mark,
Mark perhaps I was a bit to hasty I assumed incorrectly it would have a glossy finish like the fury but wouldn’t I be correct in stating the Fury has a metal skinned fuselage and the Nimrod Fabric and Metal ?:confused: the only other comment I would add is looks like it needs a good scrub :dev2::highly_amused: unless it is initially aged 😀
Duxman fantastic pictures looks quite nimble :applause: more of the same please 😀

Geoff.

Lazy8,
Many thanks for the back up beginning to think dementia was setting in after I posted :dev2: Any Idea what the thinking was behind the solid nose of the variable wing the view on the deskpilot post (No offence deskpilot):angel: looks more like a Transformer having a fit with all the bits hanging off it just looks ugly :highly_amused:. I am surprised that nobody came up with (What are they called slipper tanks :confused: ?) like on the Israeli F-16’s instead of the wing mounted tanks it got,having said that it was probably a good fix at the time 😀 Can you imagine if that exercise between the two types was a real scenario what would have been the outcome do you think wouldn’t have liked to explain why I ran out fuel from a dog fight but then I am no pilot so I should really keep my big trap shut :dev2::D:highly_amused:
