Hi PFR,
Here's one to start with,

there are plenty more of my photographs on my website, in particular many of the Buccaneer, 580 kts at 50ft.
If you are looking for anything specific, please let me know as I have many that are not on the website
Kind regards

And here is one of the finest aircraft ever built, what was the call? 'Faster, Lower, Longer'

LONG LIVE THE MEMORY OF THE BANANA.

Does no one like my photographs?
Or could it be that I have mentioned the 'B' word?

Hi Herbs,
Howsit? Long time no speak.
Here is one you might like of Russ.
I have sent it to you via e-mail with some others we did but I have used this as an excuse to post another photograph

Kind regards

Cool

Whilst on the subject of photographs LL, if anyone was on EX 'Highland Cardinal' and 'OSEX' LFA7T in July 1993, contact me as I have shed loads of photographs over two weeks. Cannot guarantee to have one of you but if you supply mission number, a/c type, tail no (yes I was that close, working with FAC's) and of course date, you might get a nice photograph to show the Grand kids.

Regards

Snapshot, the photo's are excellent, sorry for not replying earlier just been out & about with work. I've looked at your sight, very good. For all you low-level drivers it's an art form as far as I'm concerned - got anything to add?

Question

PFR,
thanks for the comments on my photography.
Not sure if you mean the art form to be getting the jet down in the mud or taking the photographs? Having said that, and having experienced both forms of the two 'arts', I suppose they should both be equally regarded as an 'Art Form'. If I have totally mis-understood your question, please accept my apologies, (working too hard).
Snaps.

Nice stuff, Snapper. (Thought I better make a comment as it took so f***ing long for the page to download)

Dear Mr Cheese,
thank you for your most graciously accepted comments about my photography. I do sincerely trust it was worth the wait? D:
However, I would like to leave you with this thought, Would a bottle of Glenmorangie be ready for the taste buds when initially bottled?
Sometimes the best things are worth a little wait. LOL

Thanks for the comments, cheers
Snaps (plenty more in the air or down in the mud)

Question

Snapshot,

Great photos. Have you worked with helos at all? I know they are not quite as fast and pointy, but I'm sure there must be some good snaps there somewhere!

Cheers,

Ed W

Well, actually Snaps, the Glenmorangie would be at its best when bottled.Keeping it in the bottle improves it not one iota.The age refers to that at the time of bottling. Personally, I prefer the 12-year-old.

Ed,
thanks for the acknowledgment.
I assume you mean mil types? I have some nice Lynx and a few decent Oryx (Puma)and Bo105 when I worked with the South Africans. Is there a specific type you want to see?
I can dig some out of the vaults if people do not mind the download times?

Samuel,
thank you for educating me on the finer points of my favourtite malt. You learn something every day. On the subject of Glenmorangie and of course the Tain distillery. If there are any ex Bucc mates looking in, I have heard many times that when lining up a toss (I think) attack at Tain in the Navy era, the aircrew would line up a certain point on the wing with the chimney from the Glenmorangie distillery. If the formula which included speed, alt, and said chimney where all correct, bomb would be released and a certain guaranteed 'DH' would be had! Anyone confirm this?

Hi Fin,
I thought 'Windy' was in the back! Thanks for that, we have e-mailed each other but that was some time ago. Have to dig out my notes from the day and see who was the other chap.
Is he still at the southern airfield?
