err no you didn't

[Divergent Phugoid!]

Sorrrrrry but....

Has the Mil thread become the spotters thread??? No??? Didn't think so.

Nice pics but, maybe they are better being shown on the appropriate thread.

[Fg Off Max Stout]

Disagree. Current RAF personnel flying current RAF aircraft. Maybe pictures of a few contributors. Keep 'em coming. (More Chinny phots please).

Alpha jets???

[360BakTrak]

Funny looking Alpha Jets..............have they got one of those Hawk body-kits on?;)

[Thomas coupling]

Jumpseater: You're obviously not a spotter then:(

HAWK (http://onfinite.com/libraries/706723/bf5.jpg)


ALPHA JET (http://onfinite.com/libraries/706724/cda.jpg)

Spot the difference now.

The obvious being low wing Vs high wing:ugh:

I dodge the former for a living every day:ouch:

So do the poor bloody farmers in Wales, judging from these (splendid) photos!

[diginagain]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

anyone?

[PPRuNeUser0211]

lol some people have no appreciation of smilies....

waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!

Plus, keep posting this kind of thing. As mentioned, it's current military hardware and the pics much appreciated!

[Onan the Clumsy]

Excellent pix.

Maybe it's one of those Alphas with the Variable Geometry Wing

Sorry Max. Disagree. How do you know they are RAF personnel flying RAF aircraft?


This thread should be moved to the spotters area soonest.

[Bob Viking]

Disagree.
I don't care who's flying them. They are military aircraft and it's nice to see them on a military forum. I'm not a spotter so don't frequent the spotters forum but I like to have a sneeky peak if they're on here.
Don't be such a miserable git. It's no skin off your nose which forum they're on.
BV:cool:

[Speedpig]

This thread should be moved to the spotters area soonest

Agree with BV......don't be a miserable git.... hands up those who don't want them on here.
Excellent shots which would be missed by the hundreds that like me never go to the spotters pages.
Reminds me of looking down on Tornados, Jags etc in Glos as they tried to dodge the "secret" installation on Bredon Hill.
More of the same please.

[FJJP]

My hand's up!

Miserable git... hope you don't get anything you want for Christmas!

[diginagain]

Mil forum - mil kit acceptable.

Southside, have you always been such a miserable git, or are we seeing symptoms of inadequacy? :p

[LuckyBreak]

So what do you think about the sad story about the 2 little girls who got killed on the railway line? Oops, wrong forum again....

[airborne_artist]

Southside - how miserable can you get? We have here some fine pics of HM's aircraft (and I don't care who is flying them) doing their job - what part of this annoys you?

That you are not flying them yourself, perhaps, having failed to get a FJ slot?;)

[Roland Pulfrew]

Southside is right of course (strange really) they could be Indian Air Force personnel! :p

I am happy to see the pictures here, military pages, military aircraft and I rarely, if ever, go to the spotters pages so would never see good pictures of this sort. What's the problem...... apart from the misident of course! ;)

[Talking Radalt]

How do you know they are RAF personnel flying RAF aircraft?
Hmmm.....maybe it's because the RAF/RN (inc. any of their subsiduaries) is the only outfit to fly Hawks in the UK right now?
Or maybe it's the presence of a roundel and an XX123 UK military airframe registration that gave it away?:rolleyes:

Excellent military aviation phots completely at home in a military aviation forum. Keep 'em coming. :ok:

[DEL Mode]

I am aware of at least two organisations that fly hawks with non military crews.

Nice pictures, well presented

[Hot Charlie]

Not with 20I am aware of at least two organisations that fly hawks with non military crews.

Not with 208 (R) Sqn markings...;) :O

[Blood-Axe]

Yes I'm a lurker, have been for many years.
This moved me so much... I registered!

Top pics old chap!
Keep them coming.
Shame that some people failed dismally to ID a sense of humour.

Keep it up.

[LuckyBreak]

How about the IAF pilots training at 208 and 19 at the moment.....? Non-UK aircrew methinks.

[Bob Viking]

Not only are you very slow to catch on (IAF mentioned on previous page) but that is also a very pedantic and boring comment.
The aircraft are brit mil and thats all that matters.
We could always just read endless posts about politics and IOT instead, with no pictures to make life a bit more interesting. That'd be fun!
BV:(

[MightyGem]

Can't say I think much of your so called sense of humour, Lucky(after checking that you hadn't posted it in a "correct" forum). :(

Great pics - have you got a massive ladder or is it just a very long lens (oo-er)?
Don't bother moving them, they're at least stimulating some debate amoungst those who want them gone whilst the rest of us admire them!

[alf5071h]

Great pictures.
The direct ‘overhead’ views of the cockpit appear to be the equivalent of the PR squadron’s airborne photos of a ‘chimney’ where the photo is directly ‘on top’.
Now what is the ground equivalent of the PR ‘belfry’ – the airborne oblique or side-view photo through the bell tower?

[Fg Off Max Stout]

Crikey Southside, I know you like to disagree with EVERYTHING, but this really takes the biscuit.
How do you know they are RAF personnel flying RAF aircraft?
Well, there can be no doubt whatsoever that it is an RAF Hawk. Additionally, there is a 99% chance that it is crewed by British military pilots. There is a small chance that it contains a Foreign & Commonwealth student or instructor, but I couldn't give a kipper's if that was the case. They are still bloody good MILITARY pictures, quite at home on this forum. I would be delighted if Jumpseater had snapped me snotting down a Welsh valley.

Your comment on this thread (http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=201320) (although you will say it is all tongue in cheek) and on many others, suggest that you have no experience or knowledge of how the RAF works. Maybe it is you that should not be featuring on the Military Aircrew board.

Regards,

Stout

Frank Smith,

THESE PHOTS ARE GREAT!!!

The Hawk pics are Chris Chamber's shots?

Exceptional aircraft photographer.

Check out his site: www.warplane.co.uk

And the forum: http://users.boardnation.com/~warplane/index.php

If you want photo's, check out the forums.

[jonesy1275]

Please have a look at my website if you want to see more low-level action. I've had a fair few pilots/navs e-mailing me saying 'that's me, that's me' and as a thank you I usually send them a copy of the photo.

Oh, I agree - Mil a/c on a Mil forum should stay.

Farmer113 and Vigilant Pilot-
Never wanted anyone to think I took those shots, just to enjoy them as I do.

Thanks Vigilant Pilot, flattered. If I knew you, the drinks would be on me, I don't though, so I'll keep the cash!

The site's still in prep stages and maybe some time yet before it goes live again. The forum is quite active with piccies, all the low level stuff can be found by contacting me.

A couple of shots you may have seen before.

Awesome shot.

This is a local forum for local people and it's rather pleasant to see pictures of the children playing nicely, I keep the spotter pages blocked by parental control software so keep up the good work!
