If you are looking for a site to host your photos I would recommend ImageShack

I will get us started with a few random photos.

Muskö is the largest underground military facility in Sweden.It´s a navalbase mainly built under a mountain of rocksolid granite. Off course impossible to destroy with any kind of bunkerbuster or nuclearweapon.

A merchant vessel tried to pass behind the USS ASHLAND (LSD- 48), a totally stupid idea. The CPA (Closest Point of Approach) was 50 yards, and ASHLAND had to speed up and come hard left to avoid a collision!

Just some crazy chap.

Brilliant selection of photos!!!

skink · 14-06-2006 2:06pm

look i am not trying to get on anyones bad, its just that i think if photos are going up credit should be given to whoever took the pics, or the site of origin..... as they are fantastic and the owner deserves credit for them.

Were possible of course we will encourage this but most times this info is not available like the photos above.There are thousands of Military Photos floating around the net and nobody knows were most of them come from.

Love the photo with the P51 The A-10 and the F29 ?

Hagar · 15-06-2006 9:12pm

They are amazing shots.

Dub13 · 15-06-2006 9:15pm

I am a bit of a fan of Military Photos,as you may have noticed.

SpitfireIV · 16-06-2006 11:10pm

A Churchill tank and a ??? (anyone know what the second one is??) taken by moi. The Churchill pictured below was manufactured in May of 1944 if my memory serves me right, if only it could talk eh.

Great photos here!

Some photos of B-52s...

showing all the bombs it can hold

dropping bombs over some unlucky area [does this look computerised?

]

in flight, showing its span

I dunno what it is, but seeing photos like these of the B52 have always given me the shivers... They're just so amazingly big! It's crazy!

Dub13 · 17-06-2006 12:47am

We are building up a nice collection of photos here,I will sticky this thread for a while so this stays near the top.

Rovi · 17-06-2006 2:10am

Here's one I'm particularly fond of (I think it's a Missouri class cutting loose with a full broadside)-

Apparently, all this lovely brass gets 'float tested' later

-

And a couple of funnies-

The transition from horses was a little difficult for some-

I always get a giggle from this one

-

I'll just provide a link to this last one as it's pretty big (950kb animated gif), but it shows what would have happened if hackers had gotten into the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan-

BTW not too sure if this is the kind of photos your talking about.

In this one an an ammo dump explodes kinda close to these two lads!

And also a link to the site..some great military photos there.

that is a pic of a B-52 carpet bombing Afghanistan. I know that because it is the exact shot I used in a project in History in Transition Year in 2001/2002

Here are a couple I took:

pretty sure the second tank (if i am right in assuming these photos are from the UK?) is a Cromwell tank

but i could be wrong.

Since there are no aircraft up top, I'd guess that its ethier just being launched down a slipway, or is undergoing repairs as there are what look like JCB's etc. on deck and may be doing some extreme turns to test her sea worthiness?

Class pic tho'.

Hi, the pics were taken in the Curragh, these things are just sitting there, opened, rusting away, I heard the name of the second tank but it's slipped my memory, however I dont think it was a Cromwell, I think its a Danish or Norweigian tank, or a similar country.

Looks like they photoshopped out the undercarraige to me.

Based upon the angle of attack, and adjusting for ground effect, I would estimate his speed at something close to 300 knots. Any slower would require a much greater angle of attack and much faster would begin to form some type of condensation in the air around the plane.

"The 597 passed the runway by doing the low pass fly start to pull up!"
Link incase the above pic doesn't show. Its about half way down.

Russian Air Force Su-30 597 was fly over within 1m on the runway of ZHANG JIA JIE airport on 19th Mar,2006

I think the pilot is a "Anatoliy Kvochur"

You might be right but look at the motion blur of the back ground in your images compared to the other one. The only one thats similar is the one where its sitting on the ground.

Sorry: forgot to put quote's around it. It was from a comment on the picture. And I agree. The lack of motion blur does make me think that its fake, but I'm unsure.

Su-47, Su-27SKM, and SU-30. MAKS 2005

TempestSabre · 19-06-2006 9:33am

Could be a very fast shutter speed either. I have seen aircraft that low. Theres videos of them on YourTube and Google Video. That one just looks odd for some reason.

That's the Curragh, and that's a Comet.

Judging by her wake looks like they were just putting the Nimitz through her paces. Absolutely cool pic though. Was aboard JFK when she came to Dublin a few years back and she's of a comparable size, so i can just imagine how it felt to be onboard during that turn.

Probably some 16yr old joyrider at the helm!!:)

if you look back by the trusters you while see no turbulance in the grass

cyrusdvirus · 26-06-2006 8:55am

That Pic back on page 1 of the Battlewagon firing a full broadside is the New Jersey. The USN used to like sending the Iowa's to mark significant events for other navies. Think that pic is to do with the anniversary of the Royal Australian Navy.

this is a very high shutter speed pic of a 16" shell leaving the barrel from one of the ships

mikeanywhere · 26-06-2006 9:59am

Hi everyone, a few shots from this weekends Salthill Airshow. Apologies as some have already been posted in another thread as I didnt know this one was around.

Enjoy!!

Yeah, I think your right about the comet tank.
However I think it has since been restored and is now sitting on a plinth type thing outside the dining hall(i think) in the curragh
