Time to have a word

with Hairyplane. That back to front parting is advancing far too quickly!

I’ll second the 400 5.6L. Have been using one from new for 8/9 years and it works fine. Internal focussing. Its been dropped & repaired & still works fine. Also have 1st Gen 70-200 F2.8L which is very good too. How did yours let you down?

Anyone remember these? Departure Day

These were taken from the top of the Martello Tower.

Well there must have been a couple o’ big tanks sitting where the bombs would go, non operational bomb bay doors/sights lots of plumbing and very few racks. In short big & too long. The Vulcan attacks were more a case of morale boosting for us poor deprived brits and sending a message to Argentina that “We can reach you if we want” which meant they pulled back some stuff for air defence, so considerable effort for little return. Much like the Vulcan raids really. No disrespect to the Guys tho, as they worked B hard to do what they did. Essentially 40’s tech not unlike H2S!

Well, Aaah seen a Bleriot Fly

With apologies to the Crows song from “Dumbo”.

Here’s my take on a low level highlight as DB takes a 6-7 second flight.

Another one for the record books – from the public side o’ the fence
