Full afterburner required to taxi? Hmmmm....

Aren't green and yellow the colours for Walkers Cheese & Onion crisps ?

Loving the bottom harrier shot!:ok:

Who said Harriers havent got burners lol

Cottesmore is great when it all comes together for sunset shots! 1 & 3 for me.

:ok:

Those fin badges look ever so Luftwaffe.

Have you got the Harrier ones posted in a higher res anywhere - would make cracking wallpaper!

Thanks for posting :ok:

Awesome
 

Those Harrier shots are great, particularly that last one!

Any chance we can get hold of some high res copies?

BS

Bottom Typhoon pic:

Looks like only the port engine is in afterburner which may explain the tyre looking like it's coming off the rim ! Either that or it's the weight of the gun ;)

Hi, If you send me an email i will mail them over as i am having trouble trying to get them hosted:(

Great Pics'

I never had the opportunity or some would say skill to take such shots at the home of the Harrier ( and that doesn't mean b****y Wart On ) as a resident photographer...

Re.tail markings, I remember seeing a Tornado at West Freugh labelled ' 2CV ' which seemed about right.

Yes I do remember the take-off if the crew are reading this, flat out skidding rather than climbing with the tailpipes about 6' up, only just made it over the hangars - where people who thought they'd seen everything were beginning to run !

TEEEJ. Yes, right first time; definitely looks boxhead :ok:

An observation for the youngsters: the Royal Air Force once had a tradition that "abreviated" Squadron Badges on fins should be contained within an arrow shaped border;

Post war, the "tradition" evolved to containment in a circle;

later evolving to a new "tradition" of no border;

The latest fashion is now badges on a shield, like the more junior air forces;

Sorry for the blatant Thread drift. Those photographs are brilliant and the clarity and "framing" is superb. Many thanks for sharing them.

Parking brake still on, perhaps? :E

Many thanks for your kind comments:) I didnt imagine the sunset ones were to be that popular, Maybe time to get one framed up and to cottesmore? Again thanks for your emails
Regards

Nice Wokka phots Lee. Thanks.

And those Harrier shots are just sublime.
