Well it could be someone else !- Sadly i only learnt the trick of how to take the lost shot near the end. Both of you sit in Line astern- select burner then do a barrel roll - gives some nice results and is fairly safe!- Ive got a million more shots but they will have to wait till 2013 - work beckons - sadly-

Retirement!
i wish call min 12 years 254 days 5 hours and 6 minutes not that im counting - im sure by then Nick Clegg will have decided that the age for retirement is 92 and if you earn over £50 a day it should all be given to his wifes book fund- buffoon!!-
Tonight well LM if you recall G8Ds - Day/Night Medium level boring PIs i will be doing something similar- evasion - nil unless they have some Nice blondes on - but max evasion if they have an adams apple- Headings for target im guessing about 265 degrees true with a 2 mile offset kept going for 3000 miles. VIDs possibly a phase 1 on some other poor sod awake at 2 am. and Tiger fast Tiger slow- i think i'll be Tiger slow and def C 0-0- minus.....ye roll on 12 years At least i wont be in a rubber bag!

I should know the answer, having had so many guns kills credited 
, but how many frames of steady pipper do we need to see? Obviously one will not do (the 'passing through' spray).

Guys, I have recently converted a load of my Dad's Super8 cine film to DV and I am in the process of making it usable on the PC.
A small clip may be up here shortly, like this afternoon.
What format is Scruffy's film?

Surely the answer lies in the Falklands.
Please correctl me if I’m wrong but:
Of 31? deployed Harriers, 28 saw action and accounted for 31 Argentine aircraft shot down with no air-to-air losses themselves.
Including 7 Dagger’s shot down by Sea Harriers.
Given that the Lightning / Dagger are same era / technologies aeroplanes I think it answers the question.

Sorry LM, 7 years HFS Wittering, only 1 year on 29 Sqdn

Not to mention that if I am not wrong the Lightning force did go out to train the Harrier force in '82 and allegedly simulated Mirages by entering simulated combat (mostly?) without reheat...
