    and more …. “Americanisms” within OUR language …… such as “24/7” – how is that better/quicker/clearer than “24 hour” that we used perfectly well. And why do we (culturally) seem to worship anything that comes out of the plain and un-cultural US? Are we really the sheep that we appear to be? And the fools that we are for giving them everything and they then make a fortune out of it? … rant…rant…rant….

    any and every day on the road…… bl**dy motorcyclists! Why is it that:
    1. In a car you have to stick to a lane and overtake on the OUTSIDE, but the c**ks on bikes seem to have their own rules?
    2. I was brought up to realise and understand that faulty exhausts fail MOTs, on polluting grounds – either un-tamed gases or noise – and yet motorcyclists can do practically anything they want in the area, particularly the noise, and no-one does anything?
    3. I and other motorists (admittedly not all) try to adhere to the speed limits but motorcyclists seem to see different numbers?
    4. Many of the offending motorcyclists are rozzers?

    …. rant, rant, rant………….

    Maybe like Peru but certainly not like the Libyan machines, which are SU-22Ms.

    Trust me, TempestII, its not, and I’ve seen a few! See the bill (yellow as per Bald, and not black/yellow), the extent of the white head mantle (much more than the AFE), etc. Its a Bald one for sure. How misguided they are!

    It is interesting that with so many other powerful raptors in their country, that Tanzania has chosen the Bald Eagle (entirely American) as their symbol!

    Actually Googler these Hips are the ones and technically this is the Noratlas as they are both in the shot!!! T-01 is actually sat at Kigali in exactly that position now, but sadly wfu. Where did you locate the shot of the Burundi Hips mate?

    Hi everyone, I’m a new boy to this forum. Some great shots have been gathered here! I wonder if any of you have any shots of the MIL-8/17s sat derelict on the ramp at Bujumbura, or of the Rwandan AF Noratlas at Kigali (Serial T-01)? Thanks.

    Does Libya count as small? Sorry, it was a dreary day for the weather!
