Re: Yeovilton gate guards

The museum is also fascinating for anyone with entertaining things like a simulator ride in a Sea King as part of the tour. There's also the...

My friend was at the show and rang me in hysterics, clearly shaken up and seeing video and photo's now I can see why, a truly horrific incident. Another friend who lives in Shoreham also sent me a message on Facebook as it happened and I'll admit I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. As with a...

Re: XV295
Blimey those last 2 shots are something else, fantastic!!
I have to say I never get bored of seeing a low flying Herc here in Dorset, had one this week very low through the valley and then banked hard over, just looked simply superb!
