Lovely stuff.

Did 13 years on the Aircraft Engineering Team myself, so I appreciate the "view from within", as it were.

Always enjoyed the banter on the radio between Eng Ops and Fuels!

Cheers.

Puts my megre collection to shame....

Thanks for letting us see them, not jealous at all!

Apparently I did to, but I was only 2 and a half!

Surprised no-one has posted this:

They're about to execute LOI - Lunar Orbit Insertion.

Fascinating stuff.

Happy days. My first year working at the show. You got my "office" in that first photo!

Cheers.

Lovely stuff, Laurie.

I agree, No. 4 is a stonker!

Fantastinen!

Excellent stuff.

My last tour 2002-2007 (see avatar).

Cheers.

A few from John's Field on Tuesday evening. You can see from the reflection on the nose how low the sun was. https://i.postimg.cc/PrwfFXVM/IMG-9051.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/tRfC5ZkT/IMG-9061.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/prgWX4r8/IMG-9067.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/7ZrHFFpr/IMG-9078.jpg https://i.postimg.c...

'The boy's done good!' Transitioning from an excitable Fence-hanger to a force majeure in Aviation publication & photography in short order. Proof that commitment & passion will pay-out? :thumb: Indeed. I remember his little shop on the High Street in West Drayton in the mid-90's. Always used to po...

Ah, young Master Hunter. It's been a while. Nice to see him at work. Jammy git.

Thanks for the link.

I'm hoping there will be a few flying next week, as that's the only darn time off I've got.......


Ha, it's says "darn" rather than what I typed.....sums it up.

It’s just his jacket , looks the way it does as it’s all bunched up. The flight was from Nellis to Cold Lake, so no immersion suit required. On a second look it could be a survival flightsuit, it would offer protection against the elements had he the misfortune of having to eject at this time of ye...

The pilot looks very unimpressed with all that snow, and whats up with his grow bag? its massive!

That's his immersion suit. His growbag is underneath.

Sorry, couldn't resist. TTTE 85-88. ATC & A Sqn. https://i.postimg.cc/L5ZGZ5ZL/Tonka-B-55.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/g0NCCfWX/Tonka-G-21.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/XvjMDnT6/Tonka-G-78.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/DZ09nBvC/Tonka-I-94.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/C12W1kdw/Tonkas-B-10-G-26-filtered.jpg

Like everyone else, struggling to pick three. So I've cheated and picked 4 from my tour in Gibraltar 88-91. https://i.postimg.cc/MGNv7TH5/20sqn-tonkas.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RZP30Gzj/9sqn-tonka.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/GpH4TYL9/tonka-CE-1.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/wvN30psp/tonka-GK-3.jpg

Thanks, James! I was lucky enough, whilst detached to Leuchars as part of TTTE's Operation Winter Venture back in 1987, to get a ride on a 101 Sqn VC-10 (Coded J) up off the east coast of Scotland. Some of you will have seen these before. I make no apologies for the borders, I like them, and can't b...

James, was it your intention for this to be an open 74 Sqn post? If so, I'd like to add a few if that's ok?

There have been some outstanding sets of photos this year, and this ranks within the very top of them.

Magic, thank you.

Excellent stuff.

Congratulations all round!
