But isn’t that the ultimate lot of the armed forces? They are supposed to be fighting their way towards to day when they are no longer required.

Now whether that’s today, or not, I don’t know – but that was always my desire. To work towards the day when there was no longer a day when I or my colleagues would be needed to go to war.

Of course, I was only an RAF Telepop in the ’70’s, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have that in the back of my mind.

I realise that in the war against terrorists it is going to be information led and intelligence is the way of thinking at the moment

:lol :lol :lol

Thats the best laff I’ve had this week.

They don’t look very “historic” to me!!!!

OOps this was supposed to appear before the jets, I was referring to the semi-naked young ladies.

Our event this coming weekend is a fly-in, not an airshow, and participation, although reasonably known to us, can never really be confirmed as it is all provided free (or in reciprocation). The BBMF will perform flypasts on both days in the early afternoon – the airfield will be closed for half an hour each side of their flypasts during which we’ll be staging bits and pieces on the ground (a Jazz band being one of those attractions… music while you eat your butties and watch the BBMF – perfect!). If the Buchon isn’t flying by then, we will endeavour to get the panels and cowlings on so at least it looks the part. All of the fleet, including the Spitfire and Hurricane, are scheduled to fly at some point during the day – weather permitting. £6 to get in… come on over y’all!

This is Branscombe, right?

((((WRONG – That’s Breighton))))

11 Red Arrows !!! Great pics.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

But excited – a Tempest – flying – 😎

Is it true, or are we in some virtual world here?

Every one of those is just superb. I especially like the (is it a?) P51 underwater.
