Hi All,
According to the History channel Falklands special it was a very ,very close run thing on all fronts perhaps mainly loss of equipment on the sunk container ship ?

Hi All,
I seem to remember a piece about the lightning holding its own against some F-16 over the N.Sea when they bounced from flying low just above the waves (would love to have seen that :dev2:) can’t remember where I saw the article but made me think twice about it being a point and shoot aircraft then run away very bravely for tea and biscuit’s as one pilot put it in an interview :highly_amused:
Still no matter what such a beautiful aircraft but I wonder what pilots thoughts would be of all the different Mk’s would be and would they differ from what Mr Beaumont initially thought and of his subsequent flights in development aircraft. :confused:

On a lighter note :-

Because it crossed the road stuck to the chickens foot :highly_amused: meanwhile the provosts flew off into history 😀

Hi Easyrider525B,
Just thought I would say fantastic pictures as always but in the Nimrod picture the forward fuselage looks dull is this it’s natural colour or lighting conditions within the hanger please as I assumed that it would be glossy ? :confused:

Then it grew up into this X-58 :- [ATTACH=CONFIG]218226[/ATTACH] 😀 Not black but kind of. :highly_amused:
Or if you prefer a bit of black with big Bristol’s :- [ATTACH=CONFIG]218232[/ATTACH] :dev2:

Browsing and just found this [ATTACH=CONFIG]218225[/ATTACH] thought this was better as other was just illusion of flying low but I recommended visit to the site below if not suggested before.

I agree with Mr Merry I am sure it was mentioned in the Flypast special on K114 along the lines of a specially constructed container as none where big enough. just a thought while we are on the subject so to speak Mr Yegan was alleged to have bought the fw-189 project but there has been no mention since the thread a while back or in the following link if anybody’s interested :- ]http://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/beach-museum-owner-selling…] :confused: surely if he had it would mentioned but I cannot find any updates anywhere.
