For the Plane Geeks amongst us......
 
Spent the last few days up in Lincolnshire at the folks place, and had a bit of an aeronautical overdose.....

Will start with the Typhoons......(more to come from past generations)

Photo's taken over a couple of days. Clear blue skies one day and grey the other.
We even had a full on display as the pilot practiced for up-coming events in the UK and Dubai.

Cool pictures Scott :doubleup:

If I`m at my mum`s we usually get a cloud rumble or two from Lakenheath but nothing as close as you get.

Ginola 02-11-2013 01:07 PM

cracking snaps mate ;) :doubleup:

It is nice to see them flying after spending 1000's of hours messing about with the blackbox electronics in a lab.

Great pics mate would love to see a lightning back in the air again

Scooby_Greg 02-11-2013 07:05 PM

There's some great shots in there

tbtstt 02-11-2013 09:02 PM

SPOTTER! :D

Great photos of, what is in my opinion, a fantastic looking aircraft. :nod:

Scott.T 02-11-2013 11:17 PM

LOL.....they tolerate them.....

Tyler 03-11-2013 10:25 PM

Wow epic shots bud..

Think the Lightning is the best plane we made. Remember watching them take off and land at Lucus and being lucky enough to sit in the cockpit of one.

Used to make components for the Eurofighter in my engineering days.

SUBARMAN 05-11-2013 02:56 PM

That's interesting, where did you work? Other than Deutsch and GD's I didn't realise there was anywhere else in Hastings making stuff for Eurofighter or Typhoon or EF2000 or whatever they're calling it this year.

Deutsch :doubleup:

alfa male 05-11-2013 09:32 PM

As said already Deutsch or TE Connectivety as its called nowadays, I worked in their toolroom for many years before going walkabout.

Red Baron 05-11-2013 10:04 PM

Back in the days of Trevor Dixon and Mark Leeson or were they before your time?

Yes, I believe he had the pleasure...

Scott.T 05-11-2013 10:09 PM

Sorry for going slightly off topic, Trevor Dixon -No but Mark Leeson -Yes.
