dgor 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Wow, I could have used that yesterday :dance: . Great shots Mut - love the smoke in the second shot. Never thought I'd see anything less environmentally-friendly than a 732 :blink: :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Dave, The F-4 Phantom was quite a smudge pot too, at least the real thing was. Not sure if any of the programmers captured that or not. But then, when you're dropping naphalm, I guess the exhaust is small potatoes. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Must be down to me to say...... "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" :mrhappy: I'll have to reload the Phantom and take a few piccies! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 More clues tomorrow, Mut. You guys are actually barking in the right forest, if not exactly at the right tree. John Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 That second shot looks like you took a seagull down the air intake! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Yep, KFC for dinner tonight! Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Trust me, roast seagull is disgusting, I know we caught one once on on of the ships I was on and tried it, very oily! and when you cut them open they stink of fish! EEWWWWWWWWWW!!!! As an aside when we were in San Francisco Harbour the pollution control was very strict and we were getting somewhat pi--ed off with the gulls raiding our garbage cans (which were lashed to the rails at the stern) as whenever they threw stuff into the harbour we incurred a fine. so we took to destroying them. ( remember this was in the late 70s)Firstly by fishing for them,(throwing a load of bread up into the air so they swooped down for it, one of the pieces was attached to a fishing line, when the gull got so high we yanked the line and pulled its head off! the other gulls then ate the dead one.) the other method was using Alka Seltzer, agin throwing bread up for the birds only this time several pieces contained the drug, they gulped down the bread, the tablets started to expand, and the bird exploded! spectacular and messy though! thankfully though by the time it happened the bird was usually away from the ship! At 17 we thought this was great fun ! These days I know better and would never condone such activity. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Young sailors are so classy! I know, I was one a long time ago. We used to amuse ourselves throwing sharpened welding rods at them, but seldom hit any. I've grown up a little since then - not totally, but a little. I don't think I've ever been hungry enough to consider eating seagull. John Link to post Share on other sites

And I thought i was the only one to do nasty things to seagulls, when i worked on a cargo ship as a teenager running between Miami, the bahamas and the Antilles i used to do the same thing with a fishing line, never thought of the alka seltzer though Link to post Share on other sites
