Looks to me like you were above 5000ft.

 

I hope your pilot had a PPL!!!!!!

 

Cheers

Thanks Dave. Mick, add another 35,000 on to that! I am sure he had some paperwork somewhere.

You really have a knack with the brush Slarti.

B2 or not B2, that is the question

 

Sorry about the poor quality, but I had to scan these in from my original 35mm photos. Couldn't decide which I liked best. Anywho, for those that are interested, it was landing at RAF Fairford, UK.

looking at the second photo it comes across as one big aircraft. I could take off on one wing fly over the cockpit and land on the other, easy. the third photo reminds me of something the Aboriginals designed several thousand years ago.

 

interesting photos of something never seen here.

Just because it hasn't been seen, doesn't mean it's not here!!!!

 

There was a lot of thought that the B2 was the cause of many so-called UFO sightings in the UK, and you would not believe the rumours that surrounded it, regarding it's radar-invisibility, and the special paint that meant you could not take pictures of it either! Looks like I proved that one wrong... mind you, they might just have turned the cloaking device off! Klingon technology is here!

My efforts...

 

 

The Lockheed Hudson starting up at Temora on my visit in 2005.

 

And Citation X VH-TEN at Mudgee in 2006.

 

 

I don't know how to upload these as thumbnails so this size is the best I can get to fit the screen at the moment, original is about twice this size.

 

 

[Guest Fred Bear]

Brilliant pics mate. Well done ;)

 

 

[crazy diamond]

Thanks Darren,

 

I'm proud of them, not as good as some of the stuff on Airliners etc but I like em :-) How's ya been by the way? Your pics of the SY-OOL flight look quite nice too, I went up there last Friday morning came back Saturday night, Jetstar not VB unfortunately. My uncles flight before ours got sh1t canned, they had to leave at 0430 Sunday morning, what a bugger.
