The shot of the KC-135R coming in to land - thats me in the shorts on the left, and my brother Monty on the right. We're also far left in the very first shot. :)

This could become a long running topic! :lol:

I'm confused :unsure:

Its a lot of work reading the text then looking at the images, could someone graffi the images with the usernames on the site? Then it would be quite easy - if everyone was happy to be tagged, and those who prefer :ninja:

Cheers

It's surprising to see Richard Flagg on the truck seeing as he's so tall anyway! Great idea for a thread.

I'm standing on the trailer in shot 6! Back to front cap, black vest, camo shorts and FLIP-FLOPS!!!! Very fashionable eh? Also in the first shot, this time with a grey hood on! Craig, you are doing much pondering but absolutely no shooting!!!!

Not sure if piggy backing on this thread will get my bottie spanked by the forum police, but the thread title says it all. Taken of a freezing cold muddy field somewhere in Rutlandshire in mid Dec 2010 :-)
