Do I win five pounds, or some sort of medal for starting this thread?

Also, has anyone got the codec for the low flying spit file to hand. Mine won't play

STANDTO

Windows Media Player v. 7.0 did the trick for me!

Low flying Spit

Click on Spitfire low pass:cool:

All very interesting. . .

But just to get back on-topic, here's a pic of a Bonanza flying under the Eiffel Tower. Out there on the web somewhere there is a short video clip of this incident, taken from the cockpit of the Bonanza.

I've got the clip from the cockpit of the Bonanza, it appears to have com from airspacemag.com to start with.

If any one wants it I can email it, but don't have the facilities (or knowledge) to post it here.

Video loads when the page opens

Tried posting that link to the low flying Spit on another website where it would be greatly appreciated, but I keep getting the Page not found message.
Any chance of a different link??or any reason why this should be happening?

Tony,

I posted the Spit link on the previous page, and it still works :confused:

Here it is again:

Glaring Omissions?
 

Echoing sentiments and all that - top thread. Somewhat surprised by the lack of Buccaneer phots and the hush-hush dits about the mighty fin, a big flat desert and a Winnebago. Or will I now burn in hell?

Only if yer don't tell us the dit mate.:)

Gainsey old bean,

I'm not the man to ask - we need an F3 mate to 'fess up. I don't think the outcome was pretty though.

Low flying- yes!

I was sat beside my car, parked off a lane near Woodhall Spa once, in the Eighties. One moment, there was I, enjoying the Spring sunshine, eating my sandwich, listening to the birds twittering, next moment, a Starfighter went over my head, followed some time later by its sound! (I didn't see or hear it coming). It does funny things to your salivation, I assure you.

Another time, more recently, I was driving west near Ross-on-Wye, just after the M50 becomes an 'A' dual. Off to my right, I saw not one, not two, but three Alberts weaving their way up the shallow valley heading NE (- SAS trip?). Very impressive!
