Nice work Mark, I didn’t realise you were talented in the art department aswel!

Is it possible that is some kind of test!:o

I’m not convinced about Harvard, the wings seem to be of the wrong planform and the tips look to be the wrong shape, and is it me or does it appear to have twin fins?

Excellent stuff Milt,where did the Saudi decals come from?

BIt of a curve ball this, but could it be a Beech 18 and that the engines are not very distinct and might be partially represented by the dark smudges?
Notice the wingtips square off at the trailing edges.

Interesting pics, thanks for sharing.
You’ve got to admit the Luftwaffe had some very couragous pilots in those dark days, were the Natters any good operationally, ie any ‘kills’ etc?

I can’t view your pic at the moment, but we used to regularly view Chinooks dipping into the sea at Watergate bay, launching and recovering boats with special people on. Great to watch as the plume coming of the water got bigger and bigger.

They do indeed get a full wash down afterwards (as do the SF Hercules after their beach landings / take offs), I’ve seen them doing this in quite choppy conditions, but as the aircraft approaches and settles in the water the wash from the rotors calms the water around it.
One thing I hadn’t realised is how little room there is for the ALMs in the back when those RIBs come speeding in!
