(Pics Added) Army Islander on SPTA 24/02/11 (also Eclipse Apaches)
Hi,
If any of the aircrew want photos of ZG847 taken at Deptford Down from 1500-1600 on Thurs 24/02/11 then please get in touch. Also, Eclipse formation and the usual AAC/Tester guys feel free to contact me Cheers Alex |
Aw, c'mon Alex, post a few of the piccies here for our delectation.
|
Nice work, Alex. :ok:
|
Nice shots -- like the Islander particularly. Wonder what the two odd-looking boxes aft of the nosewheel are for? Or does the black Omega with smoked windows pitch up at 0300 if we go there :eek:
|
With defence cutbacks the Omega's have gone.
Look out for a 1989 Sherpa Van in drab green:ok: Sir George Cayley |
He he he he. That made me laugh.:ok:
(Wouldn't be driven by a privately sub contracted Israeli would it)?:eek: |
Thanks guys - was the first time I've caught an Islander on Camera - quite impressive
|
They be defenders not islanders.

Like the power, we have a Grand based here.
the lumps are the loadies lunch box stowage :O |

And there was me thinking they were the sneaky-beaky chemtrail generators. I'll get my coat... |

Ah but the main question is do you get a crinkled chip cut on your forehead if you walk into the trailing edge of the flaps. If you do its an islander, never been near enough to a jet A burner to draw blood.
|
it is an Islander, them Defenders have radar thingys in the nose :8
|
Trex450 is correct - it is an AL1 Islander. Defenders are longer and have a larger vertical strake ahead of the fin.
|
Thanks Guys - had me doubting myself and the aircrew who clearly announced they were in an Islander on comms!!!!
|
I guess if you want to be really pedantic, it's 'Islander AL.1'
@ handysnaks - v. funny, Shortarse. :p |
True (and a bald git as well), but it's genetic and not the result of an eating disorder ;) :ok:
