Squirrel Tugging the Qantas Banner today

That was one pretty big banner.What size was it?How much weight was on that ballast?How much power were you pulling and at what speed heading west?
That was a pretty cool nose down attitude!!!

Obviously it wasn't that big otherwise you would know that there isn't a U in QANTAS.

Bloody Poms!!

Ing-er-land

seeing as it's the QUeens enqlish
probably just force of habit

next time you come across one, try getting a spanish speaking person to pronounce QANTUS (without blushing)

407driver, good on you; stand by your guns!

AirHairLair, last time I heard your name was on the Kenny Everret show (Army officer selection process!)

Hippolite; you not a pom anymore then????

[John Eacott]

Barshifter,

This one's the right way round! Over Frankfurt, I believe...

[TheFlyingSquirrel]

Can anyone provide a picture of one of these banners on the ground before attachment ?

[Brilliant Stuff]

John Eacott I believe you are right it sure does look like Frankfurt.

Very Nice.

[CRAZYBROADSWORD]

Anyone who wants to know how big they are on the ground,all you need to do is fly over Elstree and just north of the runway on the grass is a large cut out sqare in the grass and the flag fits neetly into it.....is there a U in sqare ???????????

[airborne_artist]

And here is one that got away, near Marlow.
