GPS Antenna ???

Difficult but I think it is an Argentine Canberra, the next overhead shot definately looks Argentine.

Youtube is a daily destination for me on the web (along with this forum of course 😀 ). The video was quite good, I especially like the bits with Argentine GBADS. At least it didn’t add the fantasy section some Argentine’s add to their Falklands war videos with a computer generated video of the Invincable being hit.

P.S. Metallica Rule!

Yep, nice shot of the Tigercat at Port Stanley. Its a pity that the TV camera footage from a Type 22 that got a Dagger on 21 May is not in that video or the other common footage taken from the same ship (I can not remember if it was Boardsword or Brilliant) which had the shots of Skyhawks dropping bombs or Ardent with its stern total trashed. There is one piece of footage from that Ship however I have only ever seen once and that was on the TV News during the war (have not seen it since on anything about the Falklands war) and would love to see again. The footage in question was from a Sea Wolf TV Target tracker which was following a SHAR on 21 May, Bright Flash under the port wing, Sidewinder comes off the Rail, The TV tracker then tracks the Winder across the sky until it blows the back off a Skyhawk. (Most likely its footage of CANA Skyhawk 0660 (Flown by Capitan de Cobeta Philippi) being shot down by Sea Harrier XZ457 (Flown by Lt Morrell RN) as this was the only A-4 Shot Down in the Falkland Sound area by a SHAR with a Sidewinder on the day) As for the Canberra’s, the above shots are FAA Canberra’s, the one taking off is most likely a normal B62 that looks strange thanks to the video compression.

Page 134 and 138 to 141 in Eject Eject by Bryan Philpott covers the Jaguar shoot down in some detail including a quote of the findings from the board of inquiry. I first heard of the event in the military aircraft losses of 1982 survey in a copy of Flight International in 1983.

The episode ‘Tomorrow is Yesterday’, where Enterprise is thrown back to late 1960s and is intercepted by F-86s (I think) and one of the pilots is beamed on board.

The USAF aircraft in that Star Trek was a F-104 Starfighter

An F-14 also shot itself down when an AIM-7 launched from the fuselage raked along the bottom of the aircraft.

For anyone who’s ever seen the fins of the AIM-7 up close, they are very heavy and very strong…..ripping through the skin of an aircraft is quite easy. When I first picked up one of those fins, I was shocked at how heavy it was.

The weapon damaged a large part of the bottom of the fuselage and the crew was forced to eject.

I have pictures somewhere in an old magazine I think.

The same happened to a 74 Squadron Phantom FGR2 over Aberporth range in 1992 when a Skyflash took a lump out of the port intake after the phantom had lauched it. As the RAF Phantoms were on the verge of being phased out the aircraft was cat 5’d at Valley and was burnt on the fire training dump there a couple of years later.

METEOR, first jet flown operationally by normal squadron pilots in a normal squadron (plus first jet v jet kill (V-1 was jet powered was it not)). 😀

Europe will be fools to not have a PY code system on Galileo and a method of making it less acturate when required.

In the above shot, what is Rooney doing to Ronaldo 😀

Hopefully doing what Vinny Jones did to Paul Gascoine :diablo: :diablo: :diablo:
