| Nice to see the Canberra, I think this is the last year we get to see them at UK airshows before they are retired?
V2 was interesting as well.

| For shame - nice plane nice sound. Mind you there is a privately owned one.
Have dug out some older clips of the A4 etc for your enjoyment. | |

Country:  | ****, that was a big fire, shows what happens when there is that much aviation fuel around though...

Country:  | My cousin was on the Forrestal when that happened. He still to this day won't talk about it other than to acknowledge he was there when it happened.

| More A4
A less dramatic clip from the sequence this time.
I reckon there is a continuity error in the shorter clip - the scene opens with a plane in sillhouette and I reckon it is a Goshawk and then you see an A4 taking off. Easily done as they look a bit similar.
Finally a treat for guitarists, Rory Gallagher live doing Shinkicker: http://www.rory-gallagher-tributepag...hin_kicker.htm | |

| The Ministry of Defence has awarded a contract to QinetiQ to demonstrate the advanced targeting capability offered by Electronically Scanned (E-Scan) radar technology. QinetiQ has teamed with SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems and BAE Systems Customer Solutions & Support to integrate an Active Electronically-Scanned Array (AESA) on a Tornado GR4A for assessment by the RAF in 2007.
With growing interest in extending the in-service life of the GR4, the project will explore the use of Active E-Scan Array (AESA) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) in an air-to-surface role, including real-time target imaging, with a view to replacing the installed mechanically-scanned terrain following/ground mapping radar system originally designed in the 1970s.
nice pic of Tornado there too.... http://www.qinetiq.com/home/newsroom...rter/arts.html | |
