Who says Cape Wrath is only for Live Weapons?

A little known place in the south of the country... well okay, maybe not so little.

Taken at twilight... not far from where the F18s were cleared "live" back when the CVN was in the area this year.

Not Aviation but a Python detonating, successor to the Giant Viper.

Interesting shots, nice to see retarded 1000 pounders and CRV7 in use!
CANONs carried by an ARMOURER!

They wanted to see a 2000Ib'er but were refused as it would have damaged all the buildings in a local village.
The shockwave from the first explosion shook our trouser legs like we were hit by a 50mph wind. It was quite funny.
