Yep, a decent chap was 'Old Thumper."
Not afraid to speak his mind when needed and skilled in finding common ground.
A skill-set sadly lacking from many of today's political elite...

What a fabulous set of images, a true classic. When I finished my RAF Engineering Training in 77, Leuchars was my second choice on the posting 'dream sheet', with Kinloss first. I got 5yrs on Nimrods and loved every minute, yet sadly never got to work on the mighty Toom at all. It was always my favo...

Wonderful diversity of airframes, especially the German Orion. Always loved Lossiemouth and Kinloss for the quality of the light.

Shocking start to the season, performance related; however, I wouldn't mind his pay off...

Lovely shots, I enjoyed recapturing my views of Ashness, you've actually nabbed a few 'away' from the tourist hotspot too.

Another vote for Firefox on W10.
It's been v v stable for me.

Thank you Charlie for taking me on some magical journeys and, just as important, bringing me home safely again. A Trojan workhorse and capability to adapt at its best. Special mention to the acoustic design team, who produced an airframe where all the noise was kept on the inside...

Superb selection, all excellent - the Goosander chicks is 'Bookworthy!'

Good work in getting close enough! They are very skittish and certainly know you're there.

Thanks Gary. Very interesting doing the tracking and monitoring with last week's night flying.

Wow, that's certainly something different. Can't say I'd noted these before, so I had to resort to a light research; as you say Hellenic AF, what function/role do they perform?

As an ex Brüggenite, from the mighty 17(F), just across the runway from 14, I fear we may be next...

Oh dear, oh dear, this place just seems to be in a downward spiral.

It is not just Brize and Oxford, you can expect at least a couple of other airfields to take some of the visitors too.

Lossie, then they can get a taxi.

Love to see these colourful statues, I think they're great.

Typical of modern society, send in the fun sponge and then the morale-hoover to collect any remnants.

Lovely capture, three thumbs-up from Norfolk...

Now I'm confused, I thought Scotland wanted to stay in Europe...?

Oh I'm sure this Country's ridiculous Benefits System will maintain his level of expectation ...

A great selection to display; agreed the Phantoms are extra-special...
