P.S. I posted the original images at 1600pix wide, for some reason the forum software seems to have increased the size! Don't ask me how...

Rhino Power,

Three superb shots, thanks for sharing them. The 56 Squadron aircraft is particularly good.

They are 1600 wide, which is twice the PPRuNe preferred 800 x 600!

Nothing to do with 'the forum software', maybe you should resize?

Sorry, they're not mine to resize, I posted the original image address in the image url box. When viewed at 1600pix in their original location, they are roughly 2/3rds the size they are appearing here on PPRuNe, I have no idea how or why they have suddenly become enlarged by just posting the original image url?

P.S. If they're causing that much consternation to everyone, i'll remove the post altogether...

Never mind, Nuther; I made it (briefly) thanks to the IR you gave me on the Gnat.

Turkish Delight

I attended ILA Berlin last May and took these of the pair on display by the Wedgetail. Admittedly the last remaining active Phantom Phlyers in Europe as the Luftwaffe retired theirs last year and think the Greeks did the other (?)












Cheers

Greece are still flying the F-4E AUP and the RF-4E, Turkey only fly the F-4E 2020 (like the ones in your pics) having recently retired their remaining RF-4E/TM's after several recent fatal accidents involving their F-4 fleet...
