Saw on the news this morning that they're lifting the last surviving (-ish) Dornier off the Channel sea bed today.

 

Visibility doesn't look too good in the video

Shame it's the only one left, although there is another type of Dornier in the shallow water off Holland apparently

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster is doing a flypast over Cowes tomorrow whilst the local band play The Dambusters theme. Time to get the camera out.

The did the same at the Clacton Air Show last year.....as they came into view the whole beach went into applause!! Made you proud to be British!!

then you two will be beating yourselves furiously over this then - the ultimate in aircraft porn AT Duxford....

gentlemen:

 

I did post a picture of the Vulcan, page 8, because it's my favourite aircraft ever, but I don't know how I've only just seen this...

 

:wub:

 

Haven't been to an airshow in years, haven't been to Duxford for about 5 years either, got to go again sometime!

Taken in 2011, Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. Pretty impressive sight to be fair (sounded pretty mighty too!)

Love the Harrier!!

 

Anyone know what substance was used to help the Harrier hover? (In addition to fuel!!)

Thought it was air from the nozzles in the wingtips, nose and tail?

 

Interestingly, the B52 used water injection to get more thrust on take off. 

 

(Does TBJS read this thread?  :rolleyes:  lol )

It used water injected directly into the combustion chamber to help cool the overall temperature of the engine - which allows the engine to work hard enough to get the aircraft to hover. (The puffer ducts on the nose, Tail and wingtips are to move the aircraft whilst it is hovering as conventional flaps, ailerons and tailplane will not work with no airflow)

This gives me a hard-on.

Big commercial jets do it for me. Could stand at the end of 27L all day :)

Have you been to the pub at the end of 23R at Manchester Airport. Beer garden next to the runway. 1 A380 a day and a few 747's plus all the usual smaller stuff.

Got to admit I want to spend a day at Manchester Airport now I've finished my exams, but I bet nobody will come with me. (Nobody is interested in aircrafts like me). Don't fancy going alone.

 

A A380 flew over low a few weeks ago actually, that was good.
