  1. FRS1 & FA2 had different canopys and had miniature det cord. Good point on old harriers re the horned seats ....but will have to look at some phots of T4N And T8 coz they had horns but might also have had mdc. Not the original question I know but kinda relevant.
  2. Well if its any help the apache stopped using the rockets out in Afg because they were an indiscrimate weapon hence they only used guns and helfire. So....
  3. I put my airfix effort on here last Month ....nice kit
  4. The most common Stripys were masked at least from the mid 1990s when we were doing the IFOR and SFOR duties in the former republic of Yugoslavia.....Google SFOR sea king . That said they used to spray or brush on a temporary white for some aircraft whilst doing clockwork Norway.
  5. 12.7 mm ...that'll be 50 cal then.......oh those Europeans. Personally I'm a metric person except when it comes to ammunition ...mind you most of that is metric nowstill good looking helo
  6. That risk costs money effort and manpower ....we ain't got much of the first and third one.plenty of effort mind you if you can get HMG to go in to business and form a theme park or helo joy rides On a personal note I find your comment a bit insulting ....I've got seven attendance gongs mate some people will never get to wear them .....tell their families about effort and risk!!!!!!
  7. Yeah but multiply that by a family and it gets expensive add food drinks blah blah and the majority of the UK don't live a reasonable distance from Portsmouth . Then the RAF x2 and the national army museums are free....then you can understand my annoyance....The victory is expensive to keep going so no way are you going to keep a 20,000 ton gash barge going. What gets the priority..the Victory obviously. It's enough to keep current warships crewed and underway.
  8. Umm we are skint as a country and I for one would rather the money spent on a rusty old gash barge be spent on something more worth while .....make the histerical dockyard cheaper. The only reason why I went a couple of years ago was because an old Norwegian gf of mine happened to work for British waste of space in the dockyard and Got a huge discount! alternatively.....NHS ,social services or a bag of screws for a Merlin Off soapbox
  9. Oooh scraping ships in UK no chance we haven't got enough project managers for that! As for musuem ship no chance ....the Belfast survives on money from the city...and a CVS is a bit more complex and who would payfor it......not to mention who would clean the naafi flat! Have you seen what they charge at the histerical dockyard. She gone and that's that
  10. Anonymous....I thought it was the museum. Whilst I do see this as a good thing I have to wonder what the museum's business model is since in my opinion it is expensive and they have got greedy ....just look at the loss of the model shows .....which of course is now the armies gain . But then dont get me started on the navies PR.
  11. A400M fairly low over Frome market today(Sunday) which was unusual...unmistakable through. Then on my way pretty sure I saw a Spitfire at high level....still unusual. That said it's a long time since I won the ATC summer camp aircraft recognition competiton at Cranwell. No wonder I became a matelot
  12. Nice you didnt work for JATEU in a prevous life did you?
  13. I wonder if they meant the forward hangar. I once with minimal training sprayed the back end of a FRS1 on ARK.Basically closed the fire curtain and got the bridge to make a pipe. Wouldnt say it was a brillant job coz first launch half the paint peeled off! That said there was only one harrier and one gazelle in the fwd hangar....cant imagine that was the case down south
  14. It was probably combination of brush,jetpacks and proper spray equipment. Next time there is a BNO for the fixed wing guys...tooms buccaneers and shars i will ask ....then ill get called a geek or worse....but for you guys Ps im ex harrier not justva junglie....cant win me im a mongral for life!
  15. Half one today Sunday M27,jct9. Yellow EC135 low hover/transition inspecting HT lines
