Long story time....

(25)Years ago I stayed on the Yare in Brundel on fishing holiday, I was out back fishing when i heard a loud rumbling which got louder and louder until I saw an F4e Phantom going full chat at low altitude, he then rolled the fecker as he went above me, mouth wide open I turned and saw a the rest of his flight coming just as fast  in a diamond formation, that moment will stay with me until my lid staring days :cool:

I have seen a few air shows in my time, and nouthing sounds as loud as a low flying vulcan.
Shame my flying dreams ended with after burner on the smega drive :laugh:

RR Olympus engines - very distinctive. I used to love it when Concorde flew over.

In another life I was desperate to be a fast jet pilot... eyesight let me down.

I was big time into my military aircraft when I was a lad.

Haven't watched it all... have a feeling though that Capt Jim Worley needs a bit of a haircut  :lipsrsealed:

Hope it isn't too cringeworthy... it was ok up until they had that initial briefing... then I had my first cringe  :sad:

They have found 12 Brand new - never flown - Spitfires in Burma that they buried when the war ended.

Buried about 6 ft deep in crates, to stop them falling into enemy hands.  Then the RAF forgot where they buried them.  :grin:

They now plan to dig em up and make them airworthy.

Nice.

I found the film a bit Disney TBH, and full of mistakes.

my landlords done some scheme where he owns 1/12th or will own 1/12th of a spitfire.

Let's hope it not a Triumph then, he'll probably own the dust caps!

Try living at Brize Norton...

VC10 which is banned from most commercial airports in the UK taking off at all hours
Para's doing their night jumps means you get a round robin of herc up, herc circles, herc down, herc up, herc circle, herc down.. All night
Then theres the poxy Tri-star rattling all the windows in the block!!!
