Obviously not the real thing, but a very capable display:

For the WIWOL fraternity, please keep the orgasms in the care home ante-room to a minimum.......:p :E

Not usually a fan of RC displays (all kudos for being able to build and fly something lke that though) but what impressed me about that display was that it was reasonably proportional to the real thing in terms of roll rates etc. Turn the sound off and take away the scaling factor of the field, clouds and spectators and you would be hard put to tell the difference.

All it needs is a brake chute!

Stays airborne longer than the real thing.

Was this the same same one that crashed at Strathaven a few weeks later?

I was there when he had an engine failure on finals and totalled it into the fence. Up until that point it had been a great display::ouch:

Interesting flying it off grass. Here in France most model flying sites have a hard runway. often on the edge of or adjacent to a flying club

I don't think so judging by the you tube clip. Different colour tail.

Obviously the chap who made the model has taste as well as skill. It really looks the part in the 'old' 92 Sqn colours

Probably look better without the noddy-caps on the missiles.
