Jaysus!!!

What job was you doing there? How did you blag the ride in the Tornado?


(Oh, and sorry about wife...letter....etc)

Don't be sorry about wife, got a new one now.

Used to be in RAF as groundcrew (radar) in the FA they used to take one groundcrew up a week if they had enough serviceable jets and I lucked in.

Opposite actually, was when Ex-wife left me, got a dear John whilst down the FA. Drowned sorrows with copious amounts of Boddies.

SA, if you're into aircraft that much what I'm going to tell ya could make you very jealous.

10 years ago had a back seat flight in a Tornado F3 in the Falkland Islands.

Awesome and more.

Did a bombing run up A6 alley and barrel rolled into San Carlos bay and spoof divebombed a RN ship there. 7G, couldn't move a muscle.

Then went out over the sea for aeros, loop the loop, cuban twists the lot and went supersonic which is weird as going through the SB you feel nothing, but when youslow down you defo feel the pressure wave hit you.

Ah god, that must have been the best experience of your life!!

I'm more of an "admire from the ground" kind of girl...but wow, what an experience! I'd probably jump at the chance too...very jealous!

Sacklands I think it was called - a village pub by the look of it - the wedding was in santorini in greece so they just had a small do here.

Ah Ive never heard of that, but then I'm not from these wierd parts.

[SallyAnne]

whate will you be wearing??? thermals and a sow wester?

Nah, I'll be wearing half a pint down my top and various hot meat snacks over my face by that time I'd have thought!

You'd know me - I'll be the only one who sounds like a geordie, and I look like my avatar! Plus I'd imagine I'll be the loudest one (I tend to shout when I'm p*ssed)

Just shout SallyAnne and I'll waddle over to you

[SallyAnne]

do you use an aircraft carrier then ?

Yeah there are a load of them parked up in the sea!

And I think maybe a few of them fly over from Caterrick aswell (army base not far from here).

[Bluebird]

Magic

ps - we're on the coast!

[OrangeHopper]

Eastbourne has an airshow without an airport.

Brighton once had airbourne shows until a red arrow got too friendly with a sailing boat and nearly landed on the beach.
