We get birdstrikes every so often on the nimrods, they do create large dents if they hit the wings and since it is usually seabirds that are hit the remains have a rather nasty fishy smell. It is good to laugh at the engine guys when they have to go pull the cooked carcass from the jetpipes.

Nice……lol :rolleyes:

Just a question, you say engine guys, does the RAF still have engineers for airframes, engines and avionics….keeping the trades seperate??
The Fleet air arm incorporates all 3 trades together so the engineers do everything or are dual trade I think the term is.
I suppose the RAF and R. Navy have far different working practices.

Thanks for posting the actual video Kovy

YAY Nice game and its FREE 😀

I got 120 seconds on my 4th try, I won’t talk about the first 3 attempts….Bloody Flak.. 😉

😀 😀 😀 Hahahahaha

Briliant!! 🙂 This is very good news. Full credit to everyone involved. I thought it was just a rescue sub on an exercise.

Excellant to see the British navy (royal navy) was able to get there in time and play an important role in saving lives.

I saw this a few days ago on the same site. What actually happened at the end did the pilots crash land or eject??? It looks as if they crash land but at a nasty angle to the ground

A superb aircraft that went beyond its expectations, especially in the Falklands. A great aircraft that will be sorely missed 🙁

Some pictures, from the Royal Navy website and defence images database.

Great photos Paul F, yeah shame about the weather. 🙁
