best i can do at min

when i was 5 we moved to Branston (dad stationed at Digby), anyway Branston was the engine refurbishment test zone for EE lightnings, so basically what they would do is a vertical climb with both Avons on afterburn RIGHT ABOVE MY HOUSE !!!!

for those too young

also memorable was the low fly pasts of Victors and Vulcans that were an almost daily occurrence, happy days indeed.

lovely pictures btw much appreciated.

i know this doesnt really go here, but its loosely related to the RAF and thought you guys would appreciate it:

i've heard that story maby times abiter eing an RAF CADET

Wahaha, brilliant Delta!

don't mean to be a spelling nazi danger but are you learning welsh or are you on pint number 6 ?

GINA TONIC !

BLESS THE ALCOHOL wait where did i left my juice box

Why is only one engine lit on that Typhoon..? Or am I missing something?

Speed, sounds great.

A decade ago when I was a kid we had a lot of different types flying over - Bearing in mind this was the Lake District. Jaguars, F-15's, Tornados, etc.

Not as many types now, and not as frequent

!b vince for sounding like mince, making me wanta VINCE PIE!!!!!!!

Looks like an intended single engine take off test. They do touch and goes to reduce the strain on the engines. Not needing to accelerate to take off speed from a standing start with one engine or shutting down an engine mid take if run.

Normally done when procedures and pilots need to be checked out if there hours are low or they haven't done the procedure for bird strike take off recovery for a while.

Or even practasing single engine landings, same reason as above.

If you look at the rudder its well trimmed over so single engine landing and take off practise would be the answer.

OCU checkout, had me doing 30knt cross wind landing in a C130 full realism sim. Oh the joys. Wouldn't want to do it real world.

sounds fun crabbing into ur landing looking out ur side winddow at the runway
