heheheheh serves the saudis rights for being evil to the west , fecking no sympathy

It's the Allah's will. He intended it to happen, so their was the no mistake, no harm, no foul.

Now carry on. :ugh:

all made from paper as well , brillaint :ok:

QWI input please
 

So who gets to claim the kill, the F-3 or the Crane? - A Kill is a Kill!

I just realised how drunk i was last night and removed this comment :ok:

Drinking and typo is not my good point

Someone's for the chop...

As good as use as any other for an ADV....

Obviously one of the early Blue Circle radar versions.

I quite like this as an example of modern sculpture.

If Damian Hirst had done it he'd be up for prize and selling the thing for squillions - and some muppet would buy it!!! :ugh:

Years ago, when the Saudis got rid of the Lightning, they put one on the roundabout outside Tabuk airbase, complete with mannequin in the cockpit. It was the only time I ever saw a Lightning with all the external lights working.

What a waste! Looked like such a nice crane... :D

Buddum-bum, tish!
 

Holy Shiite Moslem Militia Men - you owe me a new keyboard Fish..!! (I just spat my beer over this one).

Funniest. Comment. Ever.:}

Plenty more from where that came from!

You have to repost on the caption competition thread! :D

Don't suppose someone would be kind enough to attach them to the thread, can't view them as they are now, Thanks to this wonderful IGS we have!

Love the third photo with the guy in the blue boilers suit, shades and a smirk on his face whilst pointing at his mate. So with that in mind who do you think was the crane operator. :}

Cue Michael Caine:"Ang on a minute lads, I've got a plan"...

As far as I can tell I have, or have I missed something?

yes.
 

yes you have... I think.

Force=Massxlever length

Local crane driver or will a westerner/immigrant be in for the chop?

Come on fellows - two pages, and no speculation about how it all happened?

Must just be my IGS that's too sensitive then!! Just see boxes with the red cross in instead of the pictures.

Try copying these then paste them in the browser window and click return, it should then convert the XX and load it, if not replace the XX with a tt.

Or just click on them and see if it opens them in another window.

Could it be the guy just out of shot on the right, being pointed and laughed at, with possible blood stains on his elbow?

They should have used a Tonka.

OK - here's my opening gambit:

"Biggles turns final without gear. Caravan controller too busy reading Heat/Cosmopolitan/porn magazine and Biggles lands wheels up having not got a red flare. Pi$$ed off with ATC for not doing their job, Biggles dabs in a bit of left rudder, takes aim and then jumps out."

With apologies to the OP of this prose from a different but recent thread... The Tonka and the crane have both definitely made a wheels-up landing there. :E

can't beleve nobody blamed a mover yet you lot must be getting slow.

I reckon the movers did not deliver the ballast for the crane, which had not been DI'd properly by the MT driver, then the stacker had witheld the required anchoring as someone else might need it, the plods didn't close the road as they had less than 28 days notice of the requirement - and anyway were sleeping off shift, the riggers had left the wheels off as they had been robbed to keep the display jet flying, the sooties had left heavy engines in, the leckies (DFs) had not removed the fully charged [ and therefore heavier than flat] batteries, the fairy w***ers left all the heavy boxes and radar bits in, ATC denied involvement as the jet was not operating under its own power - that let OC Ops plus the SATCO and Fire Setion off the hook too, GEF said they were not multi skilled so didn't do cranes - chains and slings yes - big yellow cranes no, OC WRAFs said it was in an area where her girls were not allowed out of the compound so it wasn't them .....

must have been the JT armourers fault, always seemed to be the case in Germany :E

Inshallah!

I thought it was a star wars 'walker' undercarriage mod at first

That bloke with the sunnies owes me 20 rats....:} and this wouldn't have happened at Dhahran...:ok:

Is the chap with the rims saying: "Move along please - there's nothing to see here" or "f*ck it - that'll do"

Sheesh

Even a crane can't get one of these things high enough:E

If the driver was still in the cab of that crane, I'd presume he's reached orbital velocity by now....

INSHALLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I reckon it was down to the dark-skinned chap in the white robes in the distance, seen behind the crane's rear tyres, who's trying to look nonchalant as he walks away as if nothing's happened....

Hope the crane driver didn't shout out 'Jesus Christ'!
