Great photo.


The shadow on that German plane looks wrong but then
you realise the angle of the plane to the earth.

Very little engine efflux on that one as well.

Photo by Dr Stephan Petersen

“Unit: No.19(F) Sqn / RAFG Wildenrath.”

Photo ship was FGR.2 XV475/H.
There's a D on the Nose Wheel door. I think this is from an Official RAF set taken in the 80's of a 29F jet. Taken just after all the Tooms were painted Barley Grey.

They were used for publicity and that picture was a poster tool ('cos I had one !)

Similar to the collection of the IX(B) Tornado over snowy Germany in the 90's.

correct me if I'm wrong though.
regards

I was the flying reserve pilot for a similar BAe photoshoot of the F3. IIRC from the briefing, this photo was set up by a line abreast pull up to the vertical followed by a 90 degree roll away by the photo aircraft. G+10 was the lead pilot; maybe he contributes here and will remember better.

howie, why do you thinks it's 29 ?

I ask because the author says it's 19 and also refers to the use of "H" as the photoship. "D" is also a valid 19 sqn tail-letter, so I tend to trust the authors original statement: 2x 19 Squadron aircraft probably somewhere over Germany

I was on 29 in the early eighties and I remember this shot. I seem to think the lead ac was flown by OC 29 (Faj) and the setup was as described by Fox3. But it was a long time ago and my memory is now...........zzzzzzzzzp.
