In the same vein; nice Beaver!

Do you think that Beaver's flaps get wet when the pilot yanks his joystick back?

Are the flaps out on that Beaver?

Quite possibly; that Beaver is definitely wet!

Continuing the bad aviation puns; a wet Twotter

Always a pleasure to see pictures of twins with their flaps visible.

FFS which genius named that aircraft?

It dates from an era when people were more sophisticated and less prone to sniggering at humour befitting a 10 year old.

Here's "my" Beaver:



And a couple of internal shots:

We might not have had a Saint Barthélemy though.





Through the gap in the hill and then down quick or you end in the drink - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGP8VsrH8ts

Yep, just like that. You'd think if you haven't made contact with terra firma by halfway down you'd throttle up and go round again unless that was attempt number 20 and he was too low of fuel to give it another go

I think the technical term is......yes.

But good anyway

Must be an ex-Omani Jaguar. It's too bling for the RAF.

I suppose it's better than being cut up for scrap.

I think the Jaguar looks beautiful polished like that, but FFS why put it upside down?

Perhaps it slipped up on the shiny marble floor.






On the underwater aircraft theme.

not so sadly

GinettaG15Girl (who knows a thing or two about these things ye ken!) says this Jag was ex-RAF ex-op Granby, with operational nose art when it was desecrated by some maniacal unartistic moron

makes me angry for some reason

I know it would have just been scrap and eventually a bike frame from China and seven thousand kettles but still

it piffes me off
