I remember going on the HMAS Melbourne in Portsmouth Harbour in 1977. A nice collection of machines on there!!!!

HMAS Melbourne in Portsmouth Harbour in 1977
I spent some time on it in 1980-1983 but only with the Dept. of Defence.

but that is part of the mischievous plot http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ilies/evil.gif.
Ahhh. That would be it then. I was initially thinking the Northrop Pioneer with the nose engine masked...but closer inspection says no...

Sorry guys but it's 2310 hrs here. Night! :ok:
