Surprised they didn't lose their caps.

Reminds me off my passing out parade at Swiderby. We had a very low level Vulcan do a fly passed.

When I mentioned the Vulcan to some guys my dad was in the RFA Music service with they told me about having their hats blown off by a low flying Vulcan on a Passing out parade at Swinderby .

Does this sentence make much sense?

Makes sense to me? Needs a comma between "with" and "they" but it's readable.

Most of the time the low flyers came from across the airbase towards the hangers ( in same direction as main runway ) and a lot of the times the RAF Band had their backs to them, so they knew something was coming but until it was overhead they didn't know what it was , how fast , loud or low either.

Those passing out knew it was coming but usually were at attention so weren't moving. The parents could duck but no one else was supposed to.

Not exactly a picture of an aircraft....




Two extraordinary photos of the imprint a kamikaze attack left on the hull of the HMS Sussex. The imprint perfectly resembles the Mitsubishi Ki-51 "Sonia" attack bomber of the Japanese Army Air Force, an aircraft usually mistaken for the Japanese Navy's Aichi D3A "Val" dive bomber. If you look carefully you can even see the position of the wing gun and landing light, which the "Val" didn't have.

Can I add some 'not so amazing but not that bad pictures of aircraft' I took the other day as my first ever attempt at photography and photo editing?

Excellent taken @ RIAT ?

From Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold yesterday.

Anything the Reds can do I can do better, and louder. Smoke ON




Anything the Reds can do, I can do backwards and with Rotors



Anything the Reds can do, I can do lower and slower



Who needs a plane?



Highway code rule 226: You MUST use headlights when visibility is seriously reduced (by the time they turned up it was very, very wet!)

I think you may be taking the words 'amazingly cool' rather too literally.

The cargo looks quite like a DHC Otter.

Funny you say that, more than once a Wood Pigeon/Ring Dove would collide with a glancing blow on my steeply raked windscreen leaving a perfect waxy imprint on the glass. A glance in the mirror sees them flying off strongly. They are strongly built aviators...

They were taken at Lossiemouth on a normal day, fortunately the weather was pretty good for a change.

We did however go to RIAT this year, although my other half took all the photos there...I do have them somewhere, I'll post them up when I can.

And here they are (not my work)

Slight OT but those of you with interesting Eurofighter photos posted on here, you might want to have a look at this - https://www.eurofighter.com/news-and-events/2015/0...

You can win a personal tour around the Eurofighter Typhoon, and the opportunity to see how the aircraft is assembled in the Final Assembly Facility in Germany.


Back to the photos.

Am amazed that there wasn't more damage to the hull, in fact there is nothing but a dirty imprint. Strange.
