i adore that plane  :notworthy:

when they take off from RAF Culdrose they have a filthy habit of just smacking it vertical - awe inspiring to watch and hilarious to hear the sound of all the car alarms at flambards theme park going off once the jet noise disappears  :grin:

Mid Wales, it's knowle (large hill) near Machynlleth. The Forces treat it as a one way roundabout come at various points and fly up through the valley.

Typhoon nearly getting into trouble at RIAT 2007, this is the best demonstration of that aircraft....... if it had been a tornado it would have ended quite differently. As it turned out the aircraft saved his bacon and he got turfed off the base which was a forward operating base for the USAF

Awesome aircraft witnessed the first flight out of Warton sat on my bonnet at Mill Lane.

Mini Meet FTW at the Mach Loop
