Looking at the second picture, I don't think he could reach it! :)




Congrats on owning the next Bird Scaring poster. :ok:

It appears, from the second picture, that he too was configured for landing!

Spugford 11th Jul 2007 21:06

I take it he left it on the deck then? Or was it 'just one more roller' for CFT? :rolleyes:

The first air to air kill albeit from a GR4!

Hempy 11th Jul 2007 21:18

This is what happens when you have too many in the circuit, personally I blame the ATC'ers for not ordering a go around

dazjs 11th Jul 2007 21:19

Nice work!

Splat a few more of the noisey twats

Brian Dixon 11th Jul 2007 21:39

I wonder if such an impressive crumple zone was part of the original seagull design feature? :eek:

Flap62 12th Jul 2007 08:30

It's probably the first time a GR4 mate has ever got a bird to part her legs by dangling his undercarriage!

GOLF_BRAVO_ZULU 12th Jul 2007 08:34

Brilliant pictures. A feather in your cap; in fact, several I should think.

Mr-AEO 12th Jul 2007 08:36

Great pictures. I hope they bagged the bits and sent them off to DEFRA:}

You killed my Speckled Jim!
