meh it would be more impressive getting the crews flying the drones

I'd have thought they had preprogrammed flight paths rather than controllers.

Somebody has to programme or control them somewhere. They also have to be released from somewhere, take out those avenues, no more drones.

C is not used in UK military serials.

I beg to differ, its not used now, but C has been used

Christine will be upset she was not included!!

Search XL189 on Flickr, there is a few.

There is always going to be darwin awards candidates, even if there was a giant sign in neon letters saying "do not stand here" somebody would and will.

For a couple of days air defence exercises were conducted out over the North Sea with other ground attack profiles being conducted over UK land targets.

that was the cover story the real competition was on the golf course!!

Episode 5 is extremely sad.

I know someone with a Samsung fold, its been nothing but trouble for her, mostly screen issues. Check all the reviews first.

Thank you

Just reading on UKAR that the last flying Swiss Hunter has been permanently grounded

Failed to find it Paddy, any chance on a link please?

Perfect season to finish by hanging the self important suits up for good.

The Last Last Lightning show for me, has never been surpassed! Many, many hours spent at the crash gates as a teenager, one lovely day before the last show, Group Captain John Spencer came rocking up to the gate offering a free ticket for the show, nobody volunteered!! So I did :clap: free entry to ...

Does anyone know the story behind Colonel Hughlin? He's seen coughing up blood and then is replaced by Chick Harding. His records I've read online don't mention any illness, and he continued on to lengthy distinguished career.

Just one small line in episode 2. Burst ulcer.

Take the "I know everything hat off" and watch it for what it is...entertainment. Do that and its pretty good, not a patch on Band of Brothers, but better than the Pacific.

blah blah blah the AA are reasonable for a rescue, much better than the RAC. Google maps is also much much better than anything the AA can come up with.

945 was kicking about as QO-F for most of June/July/August 2009. As stated it went out on the 12th September returning on the 22nd. Its not flown since.

948s last flight 8th Jan 2009

940 no idea of its last flight, but not since delivery

326 has been reasonably non active with both 6 and 1 sqns

Interesting timelapse of its recovery

Interesting stuff, some of my shots from 1991, unfortunately my shots of ZE360 from March/April 91 did not get returned from processing. 4 shots in the album are a little after 2000
