That F-117 Shoot Down in 1999 was a fluke, believe me (I do have sources a lot more reliable than AFM speculation and doggy Russian web sites, unfortunately for all you F-117 lovers I cannot tell the whole story thanks to my sources still being classified).

Just to confirm the terminology, All RAF formation insignia are defined as Badges (including the main RAF one) with the exception of the ones which are defined as Coat of Arms (which are used by RAFC Cranwell, CFS and the Department of Air Warfare (uses the old School of Flying one)).

Afternoon All,

One or possibly two Victors carried some of the kit left over from when they were SR.2s IIRC? 😮

The recce sorties flown by the Victors were just MRR sorties just using the old NBS (H2S Mk 9 of the top of my head) radar for surface vessel search around South Georgia.

Three sorties flown.

Stab in the dark for this one, but its the only one that I know of that looks close. A big CAT, Grumman F9F-2 Panther. MEOWWWWWW

Yep, they are correctly defined as Badges (Though they are called the unit crest by most servicemen, which does help separate the design from the other unofficial unit badges that you can find. Saying that most airmen until AP 3003 was released didn’t know that the design of the badge was controlled in the way that it was. My current unit lost full station status in 2005 and the OC wanted to change the words on the Station Badge from RAF to RRH, (Check out the ASACS page on the RAF web site if you don’t know what RRH means) That was until I told her that she could not (with the AP3003 open on the correct page and my finger on the paragraph)).

How ’bout this? (Thread didn’t say it had to be a plane “pulling vapor” 😀 )

The photos from the microlite are better, Thrust SSC was surpost to be able to do 850 MPH, however at Mach 1 the Shockwave broke the ground up in front of the car and the rolling drag on the wheels went through the roof, hence the car got to Mach 1 and would not go any faster
