i am able to access terrabytes of information on nearly any subject via T'Internet.
Remember that one Sundance :-D
See what I mean mate maybe one of us forces and ex forces could have steered you in the right direction a bit quicker then wading through terrabytes.
Sorry mate could'nt resist :-D

That's a great photo Andy. Anything else interesting at the show?

Lots of intereting displays, unfortunately my camera is shite for long distance photos :(
Been meaning to buy a fancy one with a big lense for ages now.
Took the odd photo and these are a couple of the clearer ones :)

The main reason a lot of the people were there.................The Mighty Vulcan!!!
Everyone were on their feet for the take off.
The pilot was the same one that flew the bombing raid on Port Stanley , hit the centre line and took the runway out of action.

Not unusual or uncommon but one of my favourites, the Harrier.
Didn`t fly the last time I was down so it was great to see it
Image


The Black Cats.
The Lynx display, these guys really do fly close together!

And this bad boy

Love the Strike Eagle! Would have been great to see the Vulcan fly again, the weather was bad at Leuchars last year so it didn't fly. Hopefully this year though!! The only thing that made up for that was a guided tour around the inside of a B52.

Gotta love the Harrier, as I live faily close to R.A.F Whittering..The Vulcan did an unannounced fly past during the Duxford military vehicle show last month :-D That thing still looks futuristic today so imagine what effect it must of had in the fifties!
All the V-force bombers are nice designs, but the Victor always reminds me of Thunderbird 2.
More news, as its made, from new Action Force!

Nice pics, good to see a Sea King in arctic camo again and a Vulcan lugubriously drolling across the sky.

As for F-15's, the only one that excites any emotion in me is the F-15J made specially for Israelli long-range strike missions. You have to keep an eye on them if you intend to anticipate/dodge armageddon.
