Thanks Ian; glad to be the source for your inspiration!

I remember these aircraft flying over Plymouth most days back in the 1980s, sadly a sight no longer to be seen!

ChipShop

Oh aye, and I remember them over Torquay and Dartmoor in the '70's

If you were lucky; the occaisional Sea Vixen or even a Shack up from St. Mawgan just to brighten up the scenery.
Never forget legging it accross Dartmoor with friends and looking DOWN at a pair of Hunters skimming looooow accross Foxtor Mires.

Aaaah, all seems surreal now!

Heady times of eery tors, Westward tv, Ted Tuckerman's tackle shops, maids and scrumpy...


Those were the days - thanks for jogging old memories

Edit: Here's one that should jog a few for you:

Gosh!, Yes Nigel; remember that very well; was it Graham Danton; Kenneth McCleod? Or was that BBC?

Gone all misty eyed now! (Sniff)
Nice one Matey

And yep certainly remember Sea Vixens too. RAF Whirlwinds at Mountbatten; RAF ASR launches in Sutton Harbour..........

There's a couple of clips on YouTube of Plymouth airshow up at Roborough in the late 60s early 70s if you do a search. I was at the last show there as a boy!

You bet!

Splendid stuff! Isn't it strange how 'drinking songs' sound exactly the same, whatever the language?
Cheers!

That's right; remember meeting Kenneth McCleod and would you believe it - Angela Rippon at Westward studios in the early 70's.

Clive Gunnel seems to ring a bell too - or was that Beeb SW ?


Edit: Ooooooh!!! for a pint of the good stuff at Widdecombe-in-the-moor....

Hey Nige.

No, Your right, Clive was Westward as well, he did his walks and that; then there was Roger Shaw; Stuart Hutchinson; Judy Spiers; Ian Rogers; Ian Stirling to name but a few!
Oh!, not forgetting Keith Fordyce, presenter of Treasure Hunt, and owner of the Torbay Aircraft Museum!

Last, but not least Gus Honeybun the Rabbit!

Gus Honeybun.LOL ))...thought I'd forgotten

Crikey, you sure have a sharp memory, my friend

Know of any good freeware scenery for Devon, by any chance?

Always thought Dartmouth would make awesome scenery.

Well to be honest, it's really down to personal preference on that one Nigel;
I use ORBX FTX Europe scenery with England,Scotland and Wales packages added on, then UK2000 VFR airfields; which I am very happy with! Some others prefer g p satellite imagery VFR style scenery, which looks excellent from a slightly higher altitude, but loses out on its believability if you like flying at low level !
The other and probably best option would be to move back to the area, that way you could see it for real!

Oh, and I'd like 4 bunny hops please! Ha,ha,ha!

Just shows that it can and does go horribly wrong sometimes Firebar, even for a test pilot!
Mind you, they push an aircraft to extremes! (Looks like a very heavy landing, for this one!)

She was bounced during EOL practices, the MAA Incident report is available here https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...cident-involving-gazelle-xz936-on-2-june-2014 basically the large deceleration, movement of the rotor disk and the design of the Gazelles rotor caused the main rotor to hit the tail boom, severing it. The chopped tip of the boom may or may not have become a coffee table.

Nice shots Erican, but a Typhoon using its airbrake's to match the speed of a lightning, should'nt that be the other way round
