Love all of those 50s jets, but have to admit that this is my
favourite pic:

Go on, admit it, it's a painting! :)

:) No fakery whatsoever, I was rather pleased with that one. The RAF
seemed to enjoy consuming large quantities of petrol/diesel in an
entirely wasteful fashion during that demo, it was awesome. We could
feel the radiated heat from the big explosion across the airfield.

I suspect Typhoon may have used the odd gallon or two of kerosense, as
the pilot seemed rather enthralled with the afterburners ;)

Reference was to the Tornado F2's radar (or lack thereof) which was 
replaced by a large lump of Blue Circle's finest until such time as it 
could be delivered. And yes, I do  know that the pic is an F3 as the F2s 
were retired some time ago.

Love all of those 50s jets, but have to admit that this is my
favourite pic:

Go on, admit it, it's a painting! :)

:) No fakery whatsoever, I was rather pleased with that one. The RAF
seemed to enjoy consuming large quantities of petrol/diesel in an
entirely wasteful fashion during that demo, it was awesome. We could
feel the radiated heat from the big explosion across the airfield.

I suspect Typhoon may have used the odd gallon or two of kerosense, as
the pilot seemed rather enthralled with the afterburners ;)

Reference was to the Tornado F2's radar (or lack thereof) which was 
replaced by a large lump of Blue Circle's finest until such time as it 
could be delivered. And yes, I do  know that the pic is an F3 as the F2s 
were retired some time ago.

I see a rocket on the Eurofighter photos - looks like an ASRAAM to me ;)

Love all of those 50s jets, but have to admit that this is my
favourite pic:

Go on, admit it, it's a painting! :)

:) No fakery whatsoever, I was rather pleased with that one. The RAF
seemed to enjoy consuming large quantities of petrol/diesel in an
entirely wasteful fashion during that demo, it was awesome. We could
feel the radiated heat from the big explosion across the airfield.

I suspect Typhoon may have used the odd gallon or two of kerosense, as
the pilot seemed rather enthralled with the afterburners ;)

Reference was to the Tornado F2's radar (or lack thereof) which was 
replaced by a large lump of Blue Circle's finest until such time as it 
could be delivered. And yes, I do  know that the pic is an F3 as the F2s 
were retired some time ago.

Hence they were often referred to as "Portland Airways".  Just shows what 
you could get away with when you had a contract on a "Costs plus" basis!!
