  1. The F-4J in UK service was modified as little as possible to save money... basically Skyflash capability and that was about it... also they could carry and did the podded M-61 cannon SUU-23 I think...
  2. No the chains just get rusty...
  3. To keep the rain out so that the Generals stay dry...
  4. Looking good... as to the A-12 as I say about the F-4 requiring a small country to turn in... IS there a map out there that we can turn this bird in as the Wrench said ???? Or get to try out its Maximum Speed for more than 10mins ??? But hey would be fun to try it
  5. Now that looks good... Dutch whatever next Luftwaffe ???
  6. Does anyone get the feeling that this months theme was SPEED!!! I feel the need the need for SPEED!!! okay aint original but where this jet goes its correct just remember folks NO DOGFIGHTING with this bird... The F-4 has the turn radius of a Small Country this one it will be easier to just fly round the world... I am still not sure that the YF-12 SR-71 series could be classed as pretty.. Graceful maybe but not pretty... but this is looking good...
  7. Needed that laugh this morning... even though I have seen it before cheers Dog
  8. Well I have never had a car so it will have to be one of my Motorbikes... 1997 Kawasaki ZX-6R F3 Took one out for a test ride and within 5 minutes I knew... Purchased brand new... did 24000miles in less than 18 months went to the south of France for a long weekend 4 days 1 day to get there 2 days of fun 1 day to get back and in work the following day all I had was a rucksack with a change of clothes and a credit card... did track days on her every Sunday she went out even when the weather wasn't looking great. She started everytime I hit the ignition without fail slid down the road with her twice and got her rebuilt both times. I had a Ducati 748 in the garage as well but not as much fun... in fact I loved that ZX-6R so much I bought 2!!!
  9. IT sure is pretty that TSR-2...
  10. Good find I have been spending the last few weeks playing IL-2 1946 and I am normally chasing these things round the sky...
  11. I wouldn't say shooting more like amputation with an Anti-tank missile...
  12. Happy Birthday to the leader of the Republic of Dave...
  13. Thats one way to get into trouble...
  14. Looks like the Virgin rocket ships been up and about... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8584134.stm
  15. If there are certain jets you dont have data on let me know I have an extensive offline library...
  16. Oh my god thats wrong just plain WRONG!!!
  17. Too true glad they're okay...
  18. Ouch Now that's gonna leave a mark in the morning...
  19. TSR 2................................ :yes: :yes: :yes: okay okay keep calm... no Buccaneer yet but I can handle it knowing a TSR 2 is on the way... and that TSR 2 is looking lovely... Damn labour government for cancelling the real one...
  20. In my humble opinion I think we shouldn't have it as the pilots of the day didn't have it. To me it makes it more interesting when diving away from an enemy aircraft as you have to think like a pilot back then having to be aware of your speed in the dive... but hey thats me... Though I may have got the wrong end of the stick on this one though...
  21. Yours had plenty of meaning and if people keep throwing poetry around I might dable my hand in as well... You have been warned...
  22. He's also right on the kudos for the Desert Storm pack as thats damn fine too...
  23. Okay I am in yup I have been playing the X-series since the beginning you guys make me feel old lol...
  24. I think I will take a look at this tonight as I said in my earlier post that I was interested in a Space shooting trading game in the style of Elite...
  25. Already have oolite... and most of the addon's... and it does take me back a couple of decades well 3 actually to the time of BBC Micro's yup I started out that long ago...
