I was at the Audioslave concert on Friday and it was ****-ING awesome! 2 and a half hours of being up front in the mosh pit was back breaking and it was amazing! Best night of my life, without a doubt. Cornell was spot on and Audioslave were loving it just as much as all 20,000 of the crowd were.
For anyone that cares they played; Cochise, Show Me How to Live, Gasoline, Like A Stone, Shadow On the Sun, I Am the Highway (Cornell did it solo). From Audioslave - Audioslave
Your Time Has Come, Out of Exile, Be Yourself, Doesn't Remind Me, Drown Me Slowly, The Worm, #1 Zero. From Audioslave - Out of Exile
Loud Love from Soundgarden - Louder than Love (Not been heard in Britain for over 10 years)
Spoonman, Fell on Black Days (Cornell, solo and accoustic), Black Hole Sun (Solo and accoustic) from Soundgarden - Superunknown.
Call Me a Dog (Solo and accoustic) - Temple of the Dog
Sleep Now in the Fire from Rage - Battle of Los Angeles
Bulls on Parade (instrumental) from Rage - Evil Empire
Killing in the Name from Rage - Rage Against the Machine.
I am awaiting the pictures my brother took because being so crazy I wasn't trusted with it, since I was crowd surfing and freaking out...

Unfortunately, I have no pictures from my dad's time with the 11 Sqn Lightning but I have collecting quite a few pictures of Lightnings. Again, unfortunately, 11 Sqn are hardly out there...so I only have one picture of a 11 Sqn Lightning...and even that's got a 5 Sqn one in it...there's something SPECIAL about the 5 Sqn one...and if anyone can tell me what special about it, I'll give 'em a cookie....anyway, here they are...

And I've just found some great pictures of 11 Sqn Lightnings...that bottom one, before anyone asks, has over-wing fuel tanks on...they used them for a while on ferrying to Cyprus...but decided it was more sensible to just use air-to-air refueling...
...and this first picture is from 226 Operational Conversion Unit...it's a T.4, used for converting F.1 and F.2 pilots to F.3s....the T.5 was for converting to F.6s...
