Out of interest who is the guy in the photograph?
An idiot that likes posing as a member or ex-member of HM Forces. Until he was rumbled he had an active Facebook page.
Photo posted on his FB page during March.
Some recent example of others that like to dress up and fake military or service history.

No problem, Jim. Thanks for the reply.

The following Walter Mitty character was photographed by a news photographer at Woolwich. Why do these idiots think that they won’t be found out? The media labelled him as an “SAS Captain”.

The aircraft mechanism found behind the Ground Zero “mosque” site belongs to a Boeing 767 — the same model as the airliners used on 9/11 at the World Trade Center, police confirmed yesterday.
But aviation experts say a number stamped on the wreckage will likely not help determine which of the two 767s it came from.
That number — BOEING CSTG 65B84045 — is a “casting number” not unique to the part or to the plane, said Alan Lery of Turbo Resources International, an Arizona aircraft-parts seller.
It’s possible a number of parts on the mechanism have the same designation, he explained.

The chaps over there do a nice tie up with the following graphic.

Amazing!! what happened to the rest of the wreckage??
Some wreckage of UAL Flight 175 was recovered north of WTC after impact.
I would expect that this is wreckage from Boeing 767 Flight 175 (WTC 2)? Pieces of landing gear and engine were already recovered from the Park Place area. See link to graphic.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:World_Trade_Center,_NY_-_2001-09-11_-_Debris_Impact_Areas.svg
After the plane penetrated through the tower, part of the plane’s landing gear and fuselage came out the north side of the tower and crashed through the roof and two of the floors of 45–47 Park Place, between West Broadway and Church Street, (600 feet (180 meters)) north of the former World Trade Center. The plane parts destroyed three floor beams, and severely compromised the building’s internal structure………..
Some debris from the aircraft were recovered nearby, including landing gear found on top of a building on the corner of West Broadway and Park Place, an engine found at Church & Murray Street, and a section of the fuselage landed on top of 5 World Trade Center.

nice examples include Phaid’s avatar which was claimed by the americans to have been a captured video recording from an Iraqi MiG29’s FDR before a sparrow missile hit it (that they captured by flying an SF team to the crash site inside iraq of the mig29 and recovering the FDR)… LOL! the fact that people believe such an outlandish nonsense even 22 years after the war ended shows us much… 😉
This is what I mean about revisionism and the staunch belief that events never took place. Yes the recovery at the MiG-29 crash site did take place. I was serving at the time, read the report and saw the images. Think about it? Did it ever cross your mind that SF teams were in the area and assisted with the recovery of equipment from the crash site? I didn’t read a fabricated report and neither did Underhill or Rodriguez.
Exploitation took place whenever it was deemed suitable to do so. The teams that took part in Operation Have Nose were involved with the handling and processing of the data recovered from the MiG-29 crash site.

Over Cesar Rodriguez’s desk hangs a macabre souvenir of his decades as a fighter pilot. It is a large framed picture, a panoramic cockpit view of open sky and desert. A small F-15 Eagle is visible in the distance, but larger and more immediate, filling the center of the shot, staring right at the viewer, is an incoming missile.
It is a startling picture, memorializing a moment of air-to-air combat from January 19, 1991, over Iraq. Air-to-air combat has become exceedingly rare. Even when it happens, modern fighter pilots are rarely close enough to actually see the person they are shooting at. This image recalls a kill registered by Rodriguez, who goes by Rico, and his wingman, Craig Underhill, known as Mole, during the Gulf War.
A special-operations team combed the Iraqi MiG’s crash site, and this was one of the items salvaged, the last millisecond of incoming data from the doomed Iraqi pilot’s HUD, or head-up display. It was the final splash of light on his retinas, probably arriving too late for his brain to process before being vaporized with the rest of his corporeal frame. Pilots like Rodriguez don’t romanticize such exploits. These are strictly matter-of-fact men from a world where war is work, and life and death hang on a rapidly and precisely calibrated reality, an attitude captured by the flat caption mounted on the frame: THIS IS AN AIM-7 AIR-TO-AIR MISSILE SHOT FROM AN F-15 EAGLE DETONATING ON AN IRAQI MIG-29 FULCRUM DURING OPERATION DESERT STORM.
