Aaaarrrrgggghhhh.....the noise, the noise!

[Schtum]

WTF was that..!?!?!? Did the earth move? Did we cast the English mainland adrift sooner than anticipated? Is there even a fault line near the border?

Ahh....it was just the Vulcan low flying along the length of the Forth Road Bridge....that's ok then......

 

[arcboutant]

huh.....

you should'a been inalo it at Leuchars,hmmm.
The Gloster Meteor was magnificent, took me back 60 years.
The Sea Fury was brilliant
and
believe it or no, I fully enjoyed the Eurofighter.
The Chinook Pilot must have grown bigger balls in flight, superb dislpay, never believed such a thing could be thrown about like that.

But for me it is the Meteor, beautiful aircraft still.

Saw an (army?) Chinook heading north across the Forth yesterday afternoon, around 3pm

Don't see so many of them over Embra

There was a point, not so long ago when there were at least two a day over the Forth.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. The Huey sounded impressive as usual even without Col. Kilgore

Driving back from Dundee, I saw a jet doin some fancy manoeveurs including a vertical climb and a loop over Balmullo. A few Gs gettin pulled. Very impressive

The Vulcan pulled a nice right - left bank over Edinburgh Airport as it departed South. Memories of RAF Turnhouse.

that'd be an english vulcan, would it ?

Actually, at this point in time, it would still be correctly classified as a British Vulcan and if the Union should ever be dissolved it would still have been a British Vulcan at the time it was built and during its operational life.

Not that I have any particular interest in claiming an affiliation with the device but we should get it correct, in the interests of accuracy.

Royal Air Force Chinook. The Army doesn't have anything bigger than Lynx or Apache.

in the interests of accuracy, it was built in England,by the English...that's all i'm saying.

You can call it British if you want, therbey taking a part of it and in it.

can't wait for the future Scottish Air force to proudly show their historical flights.do Haggis fly ?

I suspect there were some Scots, Welsh, Irish and several other nationalities involved in the process.

Even if were unfortunate enough to be a solely English creation, then that wouldn't entirely detract from it's visual and auditory appeal. However, like so many of these things, it is, unfortunately, a weapon of war.

Kaister - the first Airship to cross the Atlantic was the 'British' R34. Built by Wm. Beardmore at Inchinnan.

Independance won't be all its cracked up to be...

Vulcans vs Airships..?
