😮 That’s amazing to see….. thanks for uploading it! 🙂

Found this whilst having a search online:

http://www.airspacemag.com/military-aviation/Oldies__Oddities_.html giving a clearer view from the rear of the aircraft….

And scroll down this page for another look… http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?161300-Military-Accidents-and-Mishaps/page3

There’s also the rather large delta winged bomber there….. 😮

A quick google:

Flight Refuelling

Great example of how to get a job done 😀

TonyT: On landing both outers can be seen to be shut down – watching the Vid again at 4:00 the port outer is restarted first, then the stbd…. No idea why to be honest, unless they needed the extra grunt to get off the landing strip into that adjacent field? 😀

I’ve known two Harriers more closely than the rest of the fleet during my time in the RAF – although ground handled many more…

They both involved incidents (not me Guv..lol) and one resulted in more stress to me than the other…. 😉

The odd-angled T-bird is the end result of some missing outrigger ground locks during a tow to the hangars for a night stop. I was in the cockpit as ‘brakeman’ and made a rather hasty exit in the rain….. oops!

The old GR3 shot is the only one I can find of XW765 which took a buzzard at 200ft above the Welsh hills around Lampeter on March 12th 1980 – pilot Flight Lieutenant Paul Barton ejected and the wreckage was guarded by a volunteer team includng myself until they could retrieve as much as possible from the farmer’s new crater landscape. I still have a little momento piece of that stored safely, thanks to the old “Crash & Smash” team from Abingdon not needing it for any subsequent investigation 🙂

Loving the ‘working’ shots Baz…. :diablo: Even if it’s rather weird that someone would want to snap you supposedly just going about your normal shifts? :D:D

I recall tricks like the tying spanner one from elsewhere too – you only make those sort of mistakes once don’t you! :rolleyes:
