Mach Loop Pictures: Telegraph.co.uk
 
All,

Now that the Times has started charging a subscription the Telegraph is my favourite time killer. I'm sure some of these pics belong to fellow ppruners. No sight of the Mach Loop comedian picture though:confused:

RAF aircraft fly low through the Dinas Pass, known as the Mach Loop, in Snowdonia, Wales - Telegraph

If some of these pics belong to fellow ppruners then they save the best to post here!
Thanks Happy Snappers.

What's a Tucana!

Then looked at the Biggin Hill air fare. Excellent! The one of the crowd scene reminds me why I don't go to air shows.

Except as the organiser, participant, or in a corporate marquee :}

The clown in image 5 is waving. I thought the RAF were professional fliers. :}

Pontius Navigator 30th Jun 2010 17:35

Definitely not waving. It is trying to hide something from the photogs.

The copilot of an Il38 did exactly the same when we tried to photograph is sarnis.

These photogs hanging off the side of mountains are a threat to themselves and any sheep they might fall on if the rope breaks.

neil, I think you bit. Didn't you notice the :}

:ok:

Ah but PN,....that took an hour.... surely Jimmy could do better than that....

As Teej says there are some good places to be found, only problem is that publicity like this from the redtops are a bit of a two edged sword. There may be a rise in the number of sheep frightners and gate left openers racing to the hills.

Still, heres a Lakentheath based F18 I got last year

Roadster280 30th Jun 2010 23:52

The chemtrail nuts have made a video of the Lakenheath F-15s spraying in the UK. You really couldn't make it up! :ugh:

That's one hell of a fast packed lunch!

Guess ChemOps are declass / in the open now - I assume that's why they're not restricted to night ops any more. Are we still using BL5HT? God, that stunk!

Nimrod crews used to buy their own repellent as the issue stuff didn't work.

vecvechookattack 1st Jul 2010 17:20

We used to load aircraft with a chem compound known as OC 28557448 ..... Horrid stuff.... lots of PPE required before using that stuff

Pontius Navigator 1st Jul 2010 17:31

i think he was right about the code : *#28557448# ( *#bUlLsH*t )
