    It should also be mentioned that the planes listed on the website are only a rough guide, as has been stated things happen and planes get pulled from flights right at the last minute!

    The sad thing about Ebay is that you need a credit card, now if you were to have an auction here it would be far better for those without credit cards 😉

    Mate when I say Javlin I’m talking Javlin as in the HDF not the Fighter of the 50’s and 60’s!

    Interesting plane there GD, good find. Do you think it would have done well in the Homeland Defence role (aka Hawk T.1A and Javlin)?

    How would compare (with limited information available) between the F-35 and Mig-29K?

    Depends on which version of the F-35 you are talking about mate, A’s are no comparrison because they are bound to land being AF versions, B’s are VSTOL so again they don’t copmpare because the 29’s performance would be very different to it. That only leaves the C’s and if what I read the other day is true, the USN are going to buy the B’s and none of the C varients thus the C’s performance would not be considered either!

    There are a few down here as well, in Fact I have a pic of a Yak 52 from the Romainian AF that was only built in 84 (It’s called Drac’s Yak) and although it’s Not a CJ series plane, it does come from the same design place!

    On a sidenote, I offer a carton of the best wine you can find in litre-cartons for the person who tracks down the people belonging to the four legs, next to that MiG’s cockpit…

    Art, Steve and Sammie: You guys ever hear of a little South African company called “Sandline international” Art I’ll bet that cask of wine on those legs beloning to employees of said company. We down here in Australia busted open their little game a few years back when they were making a delivery to PNG of some Migs and Hinds the Hinds are still in Darwin as already mentioned a little while ago on the board! These mercenaries had a huge operation going throughout Africa for many years and there is talk that they even went to South America but going to PNG was a big mistake on the behalf! Australian customs officials aren’t as half asleep as other countries officials and Sandlines arsenal was quite extencive as was their training!

    Steve: Mate this is interesting news about the L-159B’s in Kenya, I have read all the other reports before and I knew of them but this one caught me aswell. Have you been able to find out anything more on it? Also the deal for the three Transports that were mentioned were actually for C212/400’s all fitted out for ASW/AsuW patrolling along it’s vast coastline, the KAF has been looking at these for a long time. The deal also included the searchwater radar and weapons fit of Torpedos and missiles (unknown type) as well as sonar bouys of various types, plus spares and spare engines and also a ten year training facitility in Spain for training both Technical and Aircrew personel!

    What really annoyed me was the British imposition on the gift of the Islanders, “They are a gift but must never be used in an offencive way”! So it’s ok for the Maoist rebels to cause problems but should the RNepAF try to fight back they will loose these gifts and receive no more help from Britain. What a load of Trash, has Blair gone bonkers over there mate?

    Well you know what they say in this field- Science Fiction all too soon becomes Science Fact! It does look like a nice plane ans I’m sure that the Hollywood budget would cover some aircraft designers fee for inclusion on dynamic principals with resect to us aircraft lovers! Still can’t wait to see it
