Nice pictures mate, where on the airport did you take the pictures from, I’ve got to drop my parents off in a couple of weeks and I’m thinking of stopping for an hour or two to take some pictures myself.

I think the reason for the 757’s TCAS telling the pilot to steepen his dive instead of instructing him to climb is because to initiate a climb when the aircraft is already diving would simply take to long to have an effect on the aircrafts flightpath in relation to the impending collision, to increase the dive the pilot only needs to push the yoke further forward, to climb the aircraft would have to first pull out of the dive, I’m sure wysiwyg has the definitive answer.

Heard this on the news as well, a great shame.

F-4 everytime for me, but worth an honourable mention, Lightning, Vulcan, F-100, Hunter…..and so on and so on.

Regarding the F-4J/S question, if the picture of the USN F-4s was taken in 1977 then they are definitely F-4Js, the maiden flight of the F-4S was July 22 1977 and the first unit to recieve them was VMFA-451 in June 1978, however they could easily be mistaken for F-4Js because the first 43 jets were delivered without the leading edge slats which were retrofitted later.
Great website though, good see so many RN FG.1s.

The only overall green camoflaged Lightnings were the F.2As which served with 19 and 92 Squadrons at RAF Gutersloh in Germany, however during camoflage trials on U.K. based machines at least one T.5 (XS452/11 Squadron) was also painted in an overall green scheme, and regarding the fitment of the ‘Overburgers’ the increase in drag and fatigue was considered too great for them to be regularly fitted.

Great pictures, especially the Bone in re-heat!

Thanks for the info Kenneth, I’ll try fiddling around with the settings a bit more to see if the results improve.

Very sad, my condolences to the family and friends of the crew.

Kodak DX6340 might be worth a look, 3.1 mp, 4x optical zoom (also can be fitted with a dedicated 2x teleconvertor making the lense equivalent to a 280mm zoom) can also be used in Kodaks range of optional docking stations (priced at about £50), 1.8″ LCD monitor, about £250. Bargain.
