I was hoping XH558 might be involved 🙁

“Is there an official Diamond Jubilee fly-past?

“We would like XH558 to take part in the official Diamond Jubilee celebrations and are currently in discussions to make this possible,” revealed Dr.*Pleming. “Success in these negotiations would also allow us to fly for the dedication of the new Bomber Command Memorial in London’s Green Park, should we be invited.” XH558 is one of only two Bomber Command aircraft still flying, the other being the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’s Lancaster, operated by the RAF.”

As it stands, this discussion is futile.

The islanders ARE British. They want to be British. They DON’T want to be Argentinian.

There is, nor will there ever be any pressure on them to give up their right to self determination. All the Argentinians have done, and are doing, is further distancing themselves from the islands.

As said before, I don’t really see what this has to do with modern military aviation? Unless XH558 is being fitted with a Dash-10 and an inflight refuelling system… :diablo:

No photoshop here…

What are the Japanese boys doing still flying F-4? :confused: That thing is MiG-21 era plane. I would have expected more from Japan. 😮

The F4 is still a very capable platform.

😎 wow.

What a fantastic set of photos, I hope she flys again this year.

I think that would be the WORST thing they could do to her. She looks great as she is… I think 506 was the most awful looking harrier out there!

Oh, don’t get me wrong. I like how she looks now, but I have a soft spot for ‘506. Of the same ilk as the F18 the Americans painted in the ww2 3 tone blue pacific camo.

Impressive video, she looks and sounds fantastic. 😎

I hope they paint her as ZG506 in the anniversary colours 😎
