    thing is if you look at the back you can also see the puff of air coming off the back of the plane. so i guess there are fights for and against.

    Even when taxing on the ground the engines are running, how else would it move?

    Fair enough, the picture was originally captioned as a 'French Panther, but I defer to your superior knowledge.

    So, does anyone know how do you say: "YEEHAA!" in Hebrew?

    I could be wrong...

    i know the engines are on but what i meant was there is a litle "whisp" of air coming of the back of the plane, not from the engines, but like the trail left by a plane in the air when you look up there is a long line of white after it, this is the sort if thing coming of the end of the fuselage

    Some photos from the USS Intrepid in New York, a decommissioned carrier now a very nice museum. I will hopefully get some more up of Ellington Air force base down here in Houston. I plan on going tomorrow maybe if the weather gets better.

    True. But in other photos in this thread that wisp is originating from the engines and not the tail of tail, it could just be the angle we're looking at. If you think about it hes very far off centerline aswell. Like you say who knows. The lack of blur is what makes it looks fake to me. But then maybe with a very fast camera.

    I concur. Also the Israelis are always using the V (either upside down or on its side). The French would never use such a symbol.

    my father and my uncle on the set of "The Blue Max" (1966)

    i've e-mailed the guy who took the photo and given him the url for this forum. he has many more photos from the movie.
    i can't remember which regiment my father and uncle were in. they were FCA, if memory serves.
    anyone here around 40 years ago?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭SpitfireIV


    Good one JuleP. Blue Max was a pretty good movie, shame about the German soldiers with No4 LE's though :rolleyes:, but then I guess the Irish army was a good one to use as extras...

    Picture119-rs.jpg

    ....because they already looked like Germans :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    LMAO. that first guy certainly does look like your typical sausage eating, beer drinking German.

    they actually played both sides in that movie, but then again, there is some german ancestry with the english. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    I suspect that they are just regular PDF during the Emergency. Look at the collar badges and buttons. The Irish Army did use German helmets. There is a well known picture of them wearing coal scuttle helmets in an old Irish History book (Leaving Cert level early 70's). I can't remember the name name but it had a green hard cover.

    If you're into those kind of pictures you should have a look at the following site:

    Thats right Hagar, 1927 pattern helmet made by Vickers in the UK for the Irish Army, they were used up to early WW2 but were replaced with the British 'Brodie' helmet, as they looked a bit too German :p

    these are probably photo-shopped but they appeal to my strange sense of humour. Allegedly a marine squadron serving in the middle east somewhere....

    You are looking for the Direct link on ImageShack it should be the last one,copy this.Now on boards when you want that photo on a post you need to click on the Insert Image tab,its the 5th one from the right.

    Hope this helps.

    Moi..

    Haddatha, South Lebanon. 88th bn 2000-2001.

    (Hill 880).

    Just rushing out the door. But I've a stack load more of abandoned IDF/SLA tanks etc on my HD somewhere which I can throw up here if anyone's interested.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,793 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    I'd be interested, please put up a couple.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 21,252 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dub13


    So would I.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭ Teagan CoolS Vane


    This is a B&W photo of me in a SISU APC on the Israeli/Lebanon border. On post UN 6.50 We nicknamed it 'Break for the border' as it was put up right after the IDF withdrawal from Sth Lebanon.

    When they withdrew the Ukrainian anti-mine teams came in with mine ploughs and literally ploughed a road right to the border, where we set up a post... Hense 'Break for the border'!!..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭ Teagan CoolS Vane


    This is an abandoned SLA T55 MBT in outside Bint Jabail (Lebanon). It was abandoned, then stripped of parts with the IDF withdrew in March 2000.
