Heard the Bucc story before and can understand how it happened. There was an old 50's style bin lorry on the range that was one of the targets. It was usually the main target and it was painted in large black and white checks. Unfortunately the FAC's caravan was also painted in large black and white...

The previously mentioned Apache going through Alwinton on 17 Jan 09. I was standing in the area of the red flag when from the right this Apache came out of the Coquet valley. I fired off a few shots as it approached the gully then dashed over to the edge of the gully and I couldn't even see the whol...

I remember when we went down the hill at the end of the day to the car looking at where he went and thinking it would be sporty taking a helicopter through there! I actually got an Apache going low through there, and the rumour was Harry was in it. I couldn't make out if it was him or not from the ...

Shock, horror, I actually got something in the Moffat valley today. Spotted these two on adsb going to leuchars in the morning and got a few distant shots as they passed to the North of Hawick. Betting on them leaving Leuchars in the afternoon I headed to Crook Hill, hoping to catch them. I hadn't s...

I did quite a few Mallet Blows at Otterburn and the camera gear wasn't as good as it is now, it was all film and manual focusing back then. Also got more than a few from Spade of MB's and general FAC days stashed away in the slide collection. I may dig them out some day and digi them, but at approx ...

That's a nice selection of Hercs.

That looks like it was a couple of days well spent.

Thanks Mike and Honest Man. I've been keeping an eye on the weather over the Atlantic to Keflavik and favourable conditions for them to depart so I can get over to catch them.

Any word on the U28's departing?

It was always thus, but then again it's mainly the aircrews that get shot at.

Nice catch.

I wouldn't worry about it, the rules don't seem to matter much these days.

Re the Bear intercept, the 3 number tailcode was blurred out?

Nice ones Bat. I was down there the day before for the Apaches and didn't get anything worth posting.

So instead of commenting on the nice photo you’d nitpick over a 4 and 3 letter code? Why not just PM josh?

Why not read the forum rules in the first place?

Nice.

Dragging up Rule 19 again, surely "Norwich" is shorter type out than "EGSH/NWI".

Nice one Dougie. I can't be the only one who has ever wondered what it would be like to sit in the nose of one of those.

Nice catch with the glow strips lit up. Haven't seen that before.

I headed over to Prestwick on Tuesday to get the Canadian Hornets, but unfortunately they stayed on the ground. It was a pretty quiet day with only the 3 military movements whilst I was there. 1 https://i.postimg.cc/s2xMQ3VT/2308-12.jpg 2 https://i.postimg.cc/yNGk02xs/2308-13.jpg 3 https://i.postimg...
