Re: Russian Carrier Admiral Kuznetsov to sail through channe

No, but if they delay steaming up The Channel until after 20th, there's a chance of a launch and a goodwill visit to an American airbase near you......... :pop:

Re: Yeovil (Westlands) Sightings Winter 2016/2017

Thanks Phil. I didn't expect you to drive down specially.
Are you still driving that old Audi, or have you upgraded to the new teleporter model?
Ciao,

Arch,
If my notes are keeping pace, then India 6 went on to become Company demonstrator ZR343. Did you note this one in March?

Re: Red Stars Part III: Hanoi's 'Red Star' Fitters

Wow Kevin.
Wonderful shots, but you were just a little lucky with the weather. I can only remember smog when I was there a few years ago.
Keep them coming.
