Well blow me down, did we really look like that in those days?
The story went around at the time that the pilot only had main gear greens on his return from the range, A mate said that as soon as the aircraft stopped, he observed a shower of maps, papers, and other bit's and pieces ascending above the cockpit, closely followed by a fast moving pilot sprinting away across the bundu. (Rumour is a wonderful thing) Thanks for publishing Airpolice, very good pictures by your late brother who was quite talented. I was often able to watch returning aircraft from my deckchair about 200 yds from the centreline. 1 Sqn and others featured regularly. A good one for the caption competition me thinks IG . |
Love the pilot (?) pose back to camera, long hair but wearing his SD hat, as one did in those days.

But of course. He was a capable navigator as well.

As soon as I get the negative box from the loft, I'll know if we have more pictures of the incident, but I'm confident there will be all sorts of images from El Adem up until the last day.

Ooooer, this might be a print too far??
It wasn't me boss, honest !!!! :eek: IG |

(Joking that it was PE and not nose wheel failure) I remember a flight of Hunters from HK to Brunei - they had a real navigator to lead them in a Canberra. |

He's certainly dressed for flying, g-trouser tube sticking out as well as leg restraints.
I'm now really keen to see what other images we have in the box. |
