    Well if you upload them fair enough do as you did but if they're already on the net somewhere you just have to click the photo button insertimage.gif and put in the path to the photo or manually put some IMG tags in front and behind of the link to your photos.

    Works like this:

    photo.jpg

    Ignore the last space between the G and ] it was just to show you how to type it :)

    Joke - the extraordinary rendition flights that supposedly used to go via Shannon looked like small cargo planes......
    The 747 reminded me of them - the joke being that the US are using 747s now rather than Gulfstreams.
    I thought it was funny...not sure if thats good or bad for me!

    Joke - the extraordinary rendition flights that supposedly used to go via Shannon looked like small cargo planes in plain colours with no branding or whatever.

    The 747 reminded me of them - the joke being that the US are using 747s now rather than Gulfstreams.

    I didn't get much sleep last night.


    :pac: No problem:)

    Lovely pics Armin, Vulcan is an amazing shape (when you consider its age!) but the Lanc is absolutely fantastic.

    Yes, it's great that they've restored in back into flying condition.
    It's being captained by the same guy who flew in on the bombing mission to the Falklands in '82.

    If you haven't already read Vulcan 607 then do so immediately.
    In fact everyone who frequents this thread should read it, you won't be dissappointed.

    It was a Chinook, ZA715, it crashed in the Falklands back in the '80s and what you see is what is left of it.

    They are the engine intakes, the engines are internally housed in the Wings. The Comet was the worlds first Commercial Airliner. You might know today's modern version when you see it in Service with the RAF as the Nimrod.

    Those "things" are Fuel tanks.

    I thought the Nimrod's were being phased out, or at least near the beginning of such a process anyone know if this is true or not?

    The RAF's Nimrod Fleet of the MR2 Variety will be totally gone by March 31st 2010. The MR2 fleet stands at 11. It will have served 31 years with the RAF. She is actually being WFU* 1 year before she was supposed to be WFU. The replacement for the MR2 which is the Newer Nimrod MR4A will not be fully operational until 2012. It's being mooted that the MR2 Fleet will either be sent to Museums or mothballed, as it stands the Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial at Elvington, York is to receive a Nimrod MR2.

    The most interesting thing about the Nimrod MR2 that will be at Elvington is that she will be LIVE and will perform Fast Taxi Runs, her reg is XV250 and will arrive at Elvington on April 13th. The 3 other places to recieve Nimrod MR2's are Manchester,Bruntingthorpe and Coventry. Cosford at the moment is undecided.

    WFU= Withdrawn From Use

    Interesting indeed, thanks for the info mate, the Nimrod has given some great service which makes what happened in the not to distant past all the more depressing.
