A few imports from Canada, New Zealand, Singapore and the USA. Got a couple of snaps of an F-35 too. But most exciting, a Harrier from the Pommy graveyard. Forgot the camera so only dodgy phone pics this time.

Nice.
Love the harrier but that helicopter gunship is the dogs nuts.

You'd think with a codename like "Chopper" I'd be the same, but no. Fixed wing for me, the RNZAF C-130 was a highlight too. I thought it was pretty cool that there were 4 countries with C-130's there.

The B1 is awesome I think the RAF should buy them.

They would have to be getting close to their use by, by now Paul.

Apparently the Harrier left the UK with birds nesting in it.

Yeah, they are knocking on. I do think we need a long range heavy bomber though.

There is a story circumstances u laying that the TSA 2 wasn't as great as it was made out to be. Poor avionics or some such. All rumours though, we'll never know.
