Thats odd - I can see them logged in or not. There are more Irish Rangers ones on page 2 of my gallery here :

I also have some navy ones that I put together to mail to a navy person who was at the parade - is there any particular unit/part of the parade you are looking for ?

Thanks guys,

I was pretty pleased with them. Cant wait for Farnborough Air Show to get some serious military machines to take pics of. Once I have them sorted I'll post away.

My favourite has to be the F-16's as the co-pilot in the lead craft is waving to the crowd. I only saw that after cropping the size.

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 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.

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...

....because they already looked like Germans

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.

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.

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

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

And can someone tell me how to display these instead of linking them!!!???

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.

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'!!..

It's a very interesting collection of photos being compiled here but let me say I think it's a bit one-sided to post just the glorified images of the machinery blasting out their amunitions without showing any pics of - or making any comments about - the results of same, as everyone knows it's mostly innocent civilians who get butchered in any military wars by these very machines we're looking at....
Just to make the point which I think is totally relevant to make in this thread, while posting a photo of my own ex-military vehicle; a Russian made truck which I use for peaceful excercises - I think she's much happier now with me!:)
For all you military vehicle aficionados, this is a Gaz-66 4x4 V8 4.2 litre multifuel truck. It was used by the Czech military and only released in November 2006, used as a Radio comms unit or probably part of one with usually three such trucks forming the Radio unit. All the radio gear is gone from the truck but still has in the back its electricity power units and heating and air conditioning system. Great off-road camper / mobile workshop.

WOW!
Some spectacular pictures there, CyberGhost, thanks for sharing them.

But...

...would it be extraordinarily rude of me to suggest that you might use ImageShack's thumbnail + size/resolution bar facility to display them in the thread?
The whole lot come to 6.2MB, which is a heavy old load for people in non-broadbandland.

Once again: amazing pictures!

lol no it would not be rude, tbh, the reason I posted full pictures was because of the broadband, I thought almost everyone has them nowadays so why make people click when I can post a full picture.

Anyways, if more people request it, I'll repost them in thumbnails. No problems.
