Nimrod at Sunset
 
Hi all,

Thieving gypsy, put it back! We need all the Nimrods we've got......

And just where do you suppose you're going to hide it? You'll never get away with it. Guards!

Ranger,
Nice Pic, it was a beautiful sunset on the Costa del Moray last night, best this year so far I think, even better with a beer outside the Kimberley:)

Played Old Moray (the golf course that can be seen on the left of the screen at around the 2min mark) with the parents a couple of months back. Fantastic weather, great scenery, and GR4's over head all afternoon. Awesome day. (very loud!):)

Pity the golf wasn't as good.:(

:D:D Nice shot Ranger.

CK,

Do they still do the steak sarnies there, the ones you could eat with a spoon? Drool. I have no military stuff on my walls at all, apart from a water painting of The Kimberley and the waterfront there. And thats not really military. Good memories, and a great road into Inverness too.. when plod was doing shift handover.

Al R,

Yes the menu at the Kimberley still has large and tasty portions. However, not quite as large or as cheep as you probably remember them, that's inflation for you:rolleyes:

The Crown and Anchor now has good food also. Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition.

But you can't beat the Kimberly for the view:ok:

PPRuNe Radar, please don't let the nutters outside EGLL see that. Nice tip vortex, incidentally.

Nice shot ranger
 
Jet was XV248 and it was 120 sqn crew 4 flying circuits . I am part of the crew so would love some more pics buddy. Great shot by the way .

JimNich 16th August 2007 17:31

Circuits, don't you just love them? :bored:

AR1 16th August 2007 18:27


Circuits, don't you just love them? :bored:
Yes - especially when you lived on Lancaster Crescent St Eval and were trying to sleep off nights!

Desktop?
 
That first picture makes a superb desktop (Right-Click on the picture and select 'Save As Background').

Nice one ranger703.

ranger703 16th August 2007 20:33

Thanks for the comments. The pic posted is only 800x533 so although it makes for an OK desktop, the larger version 1200x800 is far less pixelated and looks a lot better.

Any crew that are not aware,check with the Captain,he now has a CD with all the shots I took on it at the larger size of 1200x800,these are good for printing upto 15x10in(Boots £2.99)and possibly larger,but I have'nt tried.

I'm still replying to PM's and sending on shots, so bare with me if I have'nt replied yet,its been a busy 48hrs for me.

I used to go to sleep on the grass outside, wonderful times.

Jim Nich,

I'm surprised you can remember, you always had your eyes shut:)

Regards
CK

JimNich 18th August 2007 20:02

Circle, if you sat where I did, your eyes would've been shut too. And not because you were asleep. Anyway, its a well documented fact, I was too busy reading 'Build It' to shut my eyes......apparently (well it was the Build It cover at least). :ok:

Mine was 30! Nice Air raid shelter outside the lounge, handy for drying the carpets out when it flooded.

I see they're still using wire bracing to hold the tail up.

mmmmmmmmm kimberley,

Finest selection of malts outside gordon and macphails.

Had many a nice dinner in there, I preferred the cullen bay hotel, the view onto the surf spot was nice and a great way to end a weekend.

Biggus 4th December 2008 20:49

Best make the most of 248 while you can.........
