Totally Tornados (well almost)

Post by paddyboy » Sat Jul 06, 2019 12:15 pm

Hi Peeps :P

Yet more digging through the dust (literally) brought these scallywags to the surface :roll:

All from old pozzies and the quality is absent from most, but with this subject I don't care :lol:

Fantastic !

I do like that Air Defence type flypast. Can you remember where / when that was taken?
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

Interesting first shot, back when the F2 was taken for granted! Interesting angle, with the old Phantom engine test shed in the background :clap: :clap: :thumb:
