Re: MCAS Iwakuni, 13.02.24

Oh Wow!
Absolutely fantastic.
I was fortunate to be in Japan in 2019 but only managed to see Naha and view the various types at Futenma from afar. I would have loved to have seen a US-2.
You have inspired me to return so very many thanks for such an excellent post :thumbs:

Re: Red Arrows Combine 8.3.24

A superbly captured selection.
I particularly liked the Gnat as it reminded me of 'The Reds' in the 70's airshows.
Thanks for your excellent post :thumbs:

Re: XXX Northolt Night Shoot

Truly excellent!
The Orion shots have to be my favourite followed by that glorious Sea King.
I was very fortunate to see the Orion gleaming in the sunshine over Torquay during it's tour of the South West prior to positioning at Northolt.
A great selection and thanks for sharing them :thumbs:

Re: Gaydon Air Display in the 1960's

A super set of pics and the black & white images really adds to the nostalgic effect.
I never saw a Valiant in the air but I can remember seeing Javelins operating out of Chivenor in the late 60's (with Meatboxes and Hunters).
Thanks for sharing them :thumbs:

It's a far cry from what it was when it was a C-137B with 89 MAW and I have to salute the USAF for keeping their veteran birds lookng so pristine.

Re: More Bought Prints – Constellations

A superb post of a truly great frame.
I remember how they would glide almost silently along the 'Red One' airway in the 60's and 70's
I love the old pistons so thanks for making an old enthusiast tremendously happy :thumbs:
