Re: Top Gun Maverick

I thought his hair was a bit funny .Wig? .Then again maybe he just looked younger than he was in the origi...

Re: Happiness is Vectored Thrust...

These shots should make a Government embarrassed as yet again an unprepared bunch led us into a war. These were what got us out of it.Like the night ones I
can never get it right.Also the P1127 got memories there.

Re: Phantom in the Phog (& others)

The fog shots reminded me of a shot I couldnt get.While at Leuchars we were fishing on the river Eden for Sea Trout on a miserable light foggy evening .All of a sudden there was a lot of noise and shortly after 2 Phantoms hammered down the runway not too far away from us.I have never forgotten looki...

Just watching it now.they have just entered the valley flying under the missiles sites.I would have thought Radar wouldnt be needed to detect them.4 Hornets giving it welly a couple hundred feet away might just be heard by the most relaxed sentry.

Re: Top Gun Maverick

My two cents having now seen it. SPOLIER ALERT Yes a fair amount of CGI, but tbf I think the fifth generation fighter involved were a little busy at the time of filming, and relations with Iran are also a little sticky to enable the borrowing of a Tomcat or two. I feel Rooster was made waaay too mu...

Re: Band Of Brothers Documentary

Quite agree about the series Raptor but there is another one (I think by the same group) about the Pacific campaign,funnily enough called Pacific.Its well worth a watch think there is a bout 10 discs worth if I remember correctly.

I would have gone with your idea Alf.Just read the link provided and if the Black Lab is so important to the history of Scampton as quoted by the council,will they give him the dignity of putting his name on his stone again. Thanks for repliesour bulletins up here rarely do follow ups on things like...

617 Mascot move to Marham?

Cant find the original thread but after a news item re Scampton this morning just wondered if Guy Gibsons Lab had been moved to Marham.Better not name him as the freedom Gibson died for doesnt appear to cover free speech when it suits certain people..

Re: Boy, 11, found driving BMW towing caravan on M1

With the standard of driving up here Paddy I would opt for massive prison sentences for most of them but we do not have enough prisons .Just about caused a four car crash this morning while walking as the drivers were unaware of the changes to the Highway code regarding junctions and pedestrians.
