hello_basil 0 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hey all, Not the greatest of photos and quite an odd selection if I'm perfectley honest as the weather was so poor on Sunday as predicted! :sadblinky: The rear-end of an F-16.* The rear-ends of Tornadoes. Macro-mode with a Cannon of an A-10. Macro-mode with Insignia of an A-10. Pristine condition prop aircraft.* Royal Navy jet engine covered. The crowd watches on in amazement. Red Arrows + Battle of Britain Tribute. Red Arrows in "Vulcan" formation. Thanks for looking! :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Hey thanks for posting Theo, some great memories there :wink: What was it like Sunday, did they have a full flying program? Link to post Share on other sites
hello_basil 0 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 The Red Arrows were doing a "Flat Display" due to the low cloud cover but it all looked the same to me! :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Great photos, Theo. It's amazing how they've added that extra engine to the F-16. :wink: Really good photography. Looks like it was a fun day. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Perhaps it's the yet to be designed F-32 :wink: Oooh I feel a "guess the rear of a jet fighter competition" coming on. Try this! Link to post Share on other sites
simi_av8r 0 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 that'll be an F/A-18 if im not half wrong... right? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Surely the tail is wrong for an F/A-18? I don't remember seeing this one Link to post Share on other sites
hello_basil 0 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 It's amazing how they've added that extra engine to the F-16. Well it was a wild guess, I have no idea about those American so-called "Aircraft"; I prefer GA! :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Mut, Your mystery fighter, rear view, has all the attributes of an F-16, but also appears to have a pair of canards that I can't account for. Everything else seems to match the F-16, though one doesn't usually think of the business end having such a gaping hole. Theo, Your first photo is not an American so-called "Aircraft"; it is a Tornado variant, F-3 I think. :wink: Check it out here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Torn ... 63.arp.jpg John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Spot on John, it's an F16. The canards are actually the rear of another F16 parked in front of this one, it's not an hybrid :wink: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
hello_basil 0 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well if thats what you call a competition, what about this wise-ass? :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 9 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 A Spitfire....definitely a Spitfire.... Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Martyn, I think you're right! The afterburner nozzles are all wrong for it to be a Cessna 152. John Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 I must say Theo you have some great angles there on those shots! :mrhappy: Surprised you needed macro for the shot of the A10 cannon though. In the days when photography was my thing [yes I mean in the days when we rocked paper back and forth in a dish and inverted (agitated) film in a tank to stop the bubbles] macro was more for super close ups. Have things changed a bit with these fancy digital mega pixy wixel cameras? Believe it or not I still haven't got a digital apart from the 2mp job on my mobile. Link to post Share on other sites
hello_basil 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Believe it or not I still haven't got a digital apart from the 2mp job on my mobile. I've got the Ye Olde 3.2MP job on mine. :mrhappy: For Macro, on my camera at least - it enables it to focus a lot closer! Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Grrr!!! I hate people with more mega pixels than me! :sadblinky: Link to post Share on other sites
