Aaaggghhhh!  :banghead:

The most famous Vulcan pilot of all time, after maybe Roly Falk.

I have a print of a Vulcan at low level over a North Sea oil rig signed by him, and the guy who sold it to me didn't know who he was either. (And I didn't tell him........  ;) ;D)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I wouldn't of known until I saw the Channel 4 ? Documentary on the Black Buck raid the other week.

That photo of the Buccaneer under the cloudy sky is a fantasticaly "moody" photo  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I spotted him, but the beard caught me a little off guard. :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I recognised the name from reading Vulcan 607.

I agree with Chirs about the Bucc shots, very very atmospheric... I'm assuming SB1 due to the smaller intakes...yes?
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die
