Smiler Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I like this one of my old aeroplane (well, not mine personaly but I used to maintain her). She was the worlds last flying D.H. Comet and this was at the last decent families day at Boscombe Down. Must have been around 1996. More pics of a more technical nature can be found on my website accessed via my sig.

Smiler Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Oh, by the way, that picture isn't the wrong way round. She went just past 100 degrees of bank. It certainly woke up a few un-informed apprentices who had been watching her carrying out sedate photo friendly circuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a Nimrod being flown like that at Halton Airshow, within a fortnight it crashed at an airshow in Canada killing all on board. I worked with a chap whose son was at the time an instructor at Valley. He knew most of those on board and was very cut up. (he is now the main Lancaster pilot and leads the BBMF.)

Jeff Glasser Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I had a look through my grotty old shoe box full of tatty pics' I spotted the late Robin Bowes in his 'Tripehound' in the circuit at Dunkeswell and tried to bounce him. It took all of one orbit before he was on my tail! the dogfight did'nt last long! They are some of my favourite photos' a, because he was a good friend, and b, how many people got to dog fight with the 'Red Baron' and lived to tell the tale. Sorry about the quality.

mark m uk Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Wonderful pictures, really amazing stuff. thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Glasser Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 My pleasure Mark. Back then I was a pilot for the R.N. and R.M parachute school at Dunkeswell, and to relieve the boredom would 'bounce' anyone I knew when on the way down from altitude! Robin and his Triplane was a once in a life time chance. He out flew me easily!! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark m uk Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 That B-17 behind the 353rd razorback, looks like it could be 'Nine o nine', why has it no engineers/top turret ? Here is my favorite picture - That's me in the back with the grin. The very same P-51 Mustang that destroys the tank in Saving private Ryan. Climbing out over Ipswich in a pair of Mustangs on a beautiful summers day - the noise in there is deafening And here is a very short youtube of our arrival back at 'Base'. Here is a really proffessional job, by a guy called Speilburg. One of my favorite all time aviation scenes from a great movie "Empire of the Sun"..........It does capture some of the essence of the 'Caddilac of the Sky'.........Enjoy !

Jeff Glasser Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 O.K. Mark, now I hate you! Just for spite here's a couple just for you!! (I think I would have traded it for a P.51 flight though!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark m uk Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Oh, those are a couple of really nice pictures Mr Glasser !........... Jets indeed, OK...........Where did I put those old pictures of that Me262 ? Seriously, I am sure you agree, it really is the most fun you can have with your cloaths on - and that really does look like a lot of fun, that first picture all kitted out is quite something.

Jeff Glasser Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Thanks Mark, I think the dressing up, sorry, kitting up, was the best bit.!! I had wanted to be an R.A.F. right from childhood, but the R.A.F. reckoned I was much too stupid to drive their lovely shiney aeroplanes, (Their loss I felt) so I ran away to sea to spite them. The Hunter ( a Royal Navy T.8 of F.R.A.D.U. out of Yeovilton) flight was superb, especially getting to fly it, and at the same time mentally stick a finger up to the R.A.F. when viewing the roundal out on the wing. Strangely this was the only aircraft I've been in where I felt slightly queasy! I was'nt going to mention the Hawk flight, but if you're going to hit me with a 262, well......
