Pretty much the badger yes

Motorcyclists and horsey-types have personal airbag vests already in use I believe.

Just happened across this and went all Terry Thomas...

Luftwaffe planes at Fritzlar airfield - still fairly intact after the Allies took over. Quite a variety of planes...Ju 88, Bf 110,109, Fieseler Storch etc, and in colour:

Great footage - and genuine period colour i.e. not modern colourisation.

Only just seen this on Youtube and thought it would be suitable for here

An F22 filmed at 1000FPS. The shot with it low over the runway with its shadow in view is amazing.



Whatever you do, dont look a the Man Show tribute on the same channel...

Lovely to see. Has it got a genuine BMW engine?

No it's using the Russian Shvetsov ASh-82 engine. I think there is only 1 operational BMW 801 and it's the FW 190A airworthy aircraft in the USA.

Looks amazing seeing to flying again. Love the Fw 190 and the ME 109.

Haven’t seen this way of de swastika before?

Last time I noticed this on German aircraft (in Germany) it was just missing or had a cross the same as the side one instead.

The Technik Museum in Sinsheim, Gemany, have no qualms about displaying their WW2 planes complete with Swastikas.

Isn't it law in Germany that no aircraft can be flown wearing the Swastika? And those aircraft in the Museum aren't flown.
