Quick question
Cracking photo, Grommet!
Does anyone know the provenance of this photo - location etc? What does the white X in the black box signify? Is that a closed taxiway?

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
If you look in the plume you will see a runway marker board with a number. I would guess an X on the other side with the visible X box having a number too.
In other words distance to go is not exactly X thousands in the X direction

Genuine photo (despite many arguing differently...), it's an Italian AF Tornado ECR, apparently on the strength of the RSV (Reparto Sperimentale Volo) at the time, the location is (possibly) Cameri and the date is December 2008...

Spaz, I will grant low altitude pass but for a Tonka that was a high level roll
There are also stories of a Vulcan scoring a groove with its wingtip in a US desert during an exercise, and also one damaging a power line with the tail fin having flown up under it.

Some might remember the long curved gash across the grass at Yeovilton, cut by a Frecce Gino's wing tip in the early 70's...????
'Twas indeed (a practice for) the Yeovilton Air Day, and he removed the nav light too. Which was duly mounted on a polished wood plinth and presented to the pilot at the post-show Dinner IIRC..........
