Wink Ooh Hello Sailor!....

A few from Wainwright country on the 21st.














I didn't realise we had any of those turbine Mustangs left!
The last set of holiday snaps from me for a while, I'm off to school for the summer! We'll even cover aircraft recognition.....

nice ones of the F3 and F-15E, as to those with the spinny thing on the front, do they actually work or is it flying by willpower??

And as for the Black Hawk............

I did indeed mean the black Hawk, the one driven by the senior service. I do wonder though where they fit the boilers and the telegraph and all the other tin boat stuff when they put in a teeny tiny plane

I thought being 'arsed' was obligatory in the senior service, "rum, buggery and the lash" being the order of the day.

I knew there was a reason why I said no to the wavy navy......... Oh yes that was it, God built my ample posterior and associated equipment for one way traffic............

The fact remains those are very nice photos. I showed them to AOCIC the house in an effort to allow me to buy a digital SLR, response was they are very nice but you are not spending all that money on a shiny (yet)
