Brilliant! What a great start to Friday :)

Set command eject to "FRONT" and break the knob off (knob does not = backseater, honest!).

Where did the pictures go?

As this is a 'rumour' forum, might I suggest NWS fault? XV571 did a similar thing at Leuchars circa 77? Metal in the follow up potentiometer I believe, and I think the future 43 sqn boss was in the back?

Anyway, good decision to jump chaps, going cross country with all that concrete about and I'd have gone. Get well soon, we need you back.

22g required in the correct plane.:8

West Coast one will be recovered next week....

Maybe they didn't want to get their boots muddy - that grass does look slightly damp.

One can only imagine the banter they'll suffer on their return.

Assuming that do have permission to use copyright material, the size of the pics should be no more than 850x850 to avoid a lateral stretch of the page - please re-size them. If the pics are NOT yours please take them down to avoid placing PPRuNe in mis-use of copyright position.

I think the clues are all there that they are indeed HIS pictures!!:rolleyes:

Are there some Sarboy sympathisers on the GR1 fleet? Something along the lines of justifying an ongoing core military capability requirement? :) Nothing like doing it on your own doorstep though!

GR1 fleet?

From BBC on the latest mishap:

and from January:


What do the locals want? Base, or no base...

Well considering Moray has a population of about 90,000 and a third of those have signed the Moray-wide petition to keep RAF Lossiemouth open then for there to be a feeling of "anxiety among some in the Lossiemouth community" is no great surprise :rolleyes:

No matter how much the RAF bring to Moray there will always be some of those SNP supporting racists that you sometimes have the misfortune to meet in the area wanting rid of the RAF - for some reason they seem to think that all in the RAF are English (well, the one or 2 that are capable of thought :E )

MadMark!!! :mad:

Stop exaggerating...

Without speculating on the 2 incidents that have happened last few weeks, if its down to Engineering issues, I wonder if the uncertainty of the base closure/move is having an effect on morale and people are not thinking 100% on the ball. Just a question for thought as we have been discussing it today. Human Factors and all the good stuff.

11 1/2 actually - October 1999, the Station Commander had to jump out of a Jaguar when it decided it wasn't playing anymore, was picked out of the water by a new crewman who was on his first 'job'. The crewman said to Stn Cmdr "Do you know who I am?", Stn Cmdr responded with "No... but do you know who I am?" :)

Walrus lol

Was that the one when he punched out and the Nimrod in the area flew underneath him while he was floating down to the sea, im sure he wrote a good story on that in Airclues

The Nimrod that flew underneath the Lossie Staish was being flown by the Kinloss Staish - they were homing to the PLB, incorrectly assuming that the 'survivor' was in the water. The jet also had the RCDS onboard!

I believe that the Lossie Staish was 'impressed by the noise of 4 Speys in action quite close to his ears!

Duncs:ok:

The art work on the annual FS poster was quite impressive for that one I remember..

@Rumpunch; Morale on that particular Sqn is - despite the 2 recent incidents and the uncertainty regarding the future, higher than it has been for many a year. 4 bang-outs, 4 guys who will have a great story for the grandkids. Happy days. :)

For the armchair experts out there, yesterday's aircraft had landed and travelled about 6000 feet along the runway before something caused it to depart the centreline. Now it's up to the BoI to determine the cause. Leave it to them and stop speculating.:ugh:
