Y'know what, I have never really noticed how off centre the nose wheel is - is that simply to counter balance the off centre gun? And come to think of it, how come the gun is off centre anyway (maybe it's simply to counter balance the off centre nose wheel?)? I know a lot of modern jets have just o...

Loved the A-10 - A couple of retro from me - did not want to go to their recent visits since departure from Bentwaters / Woodbridge Airfield Attack - Bentwaters https://live.staticflickr.com/476/32733930161_b0a86be547_h.jpg Airfield Attack (4) by Darren Currie , on Flickr A-10 Thunderbolt II - 79-00...

Been away for a while and seen Paul's (capercaillie) superb scans. Totally agree the scanning thing is very therapeutic and have enjoyed scanning some of mine from over the years - here are a few from RIAT 1991 - hope you find of interest https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50643114347_b4fb486b74_h....

Superb!!!

Good to sit next to you today Andy - wondered what you were doing with the I pad but now all makes sense - I have very similar shots!! Nice one throughout the day - have a good one tomorrow I've just read somewhere that when the Reds just went up for their practice, they had Thunderbirds pilots in t...

Excellent - thank you. I do remember well, the visits to Upper Heyford, when `Varks ruled the Oxfordshire skies. I am a huge fan of old/decommissioned airfields......it is a great thing you are doing, keeping this important history alive. Can thoroughly recommend the tour Ted. My brother and I went...

Recently sent my 100-400 away for service and calibration due to not being happy with last years results. Contacted Canon as not happy with the 7d focusing as it did not appear spot on. Canon recommended four authorised service centres. Had heard good reports on Lehmann Ltd in Stoke on Trent so sent...

Formula 1 Books For Sale Before I put these on E bay thought I would offer them on here. They are all in ‘as new’ condition with only a couple of finger prints on the front dust covers. Never had chance to read them and now just sat on the book shelf. Open to offers. If you would like a photograph ...

Absolutely fantastic log - do you have more from my local 'base'?

Cheers

The photos say all that needs to be said. Very humbling. Hopefully this puts any complaints about closing the AAM to bed. I've been critical of Duxford's corporate approach in the past, but you can't have anything but respect for their efforts here. to all involved. Amen to that - just look at the ...

Took the laptop and my 4 year old daughter out into the garden and had NASA TV showing a slowly rotating earth in the background of the spacewalk whilst looking up at the actual thing. But rather than taking in all that mankind had acheived (yes, I know a bit much too expect....) , all she asked wa...

Dont know what the minimum age is for working for a 'company' is but I started out in the pot wash in a large hotel when I was at school. Worked Saturday and Sunday lunch and walked away with about £35 for the weekend - but that was over 25 years ago! Hotels are always on the look out for these over...

Wait until they get to two and a half!

No, scrub that, armageddon would actually bring a bit of sweet relief, when is it again??

I've done abit in the past and admit it is great as long as you are sensible (let family etc know where you are going and you will contact in 3 hours or so to confirm safe!) Had a look around Upper Heyford and Greenham Common to a certain degree (the GAMA area still eludes me) By far the best I have...

Check your PM's Sir

It did have some 'nose art' on it!! m I dont think it is 'nose art' as such - I think it says 'Heavy 3 Man' - seeing previous photos of some Dargons they have 'Heavy Hatch' chalked on the side as the hatch housing sensors immediately below is very heavy and it will require 3 people to lower it to a...
