    About “Independance Day”,I heard that the film’s producers approached the USAF who declined to be involved,hence the F/A18’s were used as the USAF refused the film makers permission to use F22’s.
    From the same film makers,”Godzilla” with those ridiculous AH64 Apache-ish things?!!

    Further, the Vulcan was in standard RAF cammo of the time ie disruptive grey/green on the upper surfaces,black radome and light grey lower.

    Dave, I’ve seen a photo of the said Vulcan.
    The Kiwi was a “zap” put on by RNAF wags when the kite visited NZ.
    I think the book was part of the “combat aircraft” series and the picture has a bemused chief tech stood nearby.

    Cajun,
    As far as I know only “flying” badges or brevets were and are worn above the left breats pocket.
    They are Army glider pilot wings and all aircrew were either NCO’s or commissioned.This wasn’t policy at the start of WW2,as AC2 (RAF) aircrew were common in RAF multi-engined types.
    Hope this helps.

    Anyone else have problems locking on to more than about three different targets?
    I have the latest patch installed,which gives a new,very useful rear view but if I hit ‘tab’ more than three times,the game refuses to lock-on to any more targets! 😡
    Any ideas?

    Bought a Mini “Ritz” tax-free in Germany,blasted it around the Cleethorpes area for two years,nearly wrote it off racing an RS Turbo near RAF North Coates,and contrary to popular belief,you can bonk in a Mini!…….oops,have I shared too much? 😉
