You know it's horsecrock you're shovelling when you need to explain it

Military Aviation A forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here.

You know it's horsecrock you're shovelling when you need to explain it

I've bought tickets for the Albert Hall for my daughter and granddaughter to be there; sadly I cannot join them - it should be a wonderful occasion.

And THAT colour scheme is just BOLLOCKS. Shame on whoever flew it - they should have declared it U/S aka Not Fit for Purpose on the walkround

I think the new "logo" has a whole range of uses. 25 metre, 300 metre, probably a bit small for the 600 metre range.

I know, I must have spent all of 10 minutes on it.

Thanks for the link Nutloose, I got my info from UKAR. Hopefully I will be able to get down there for that.

Original pic is from Derwent 10 years ago. Now that was a commemoration.

My apologies DG, I'd mistakenly assumed (i know, ass u me) that the photo was from some official site. It's a better job than I could do with a 'puter.

I remember a similar flypast in 1980 and a very good party afterwards hosted by Rolls Royce and (I think) by Derbyshire County Council - we all got a great commemorative tie.

I do really think that what’s missing is any sort of DIGNITY.

But perhaps the yoof in meeja work don’t know that word.

Looking at the nose art, that photo is also a few seasons old.
