I went to Afghanistan and built 3 of those engine test pads Terry, have you been out to those ones?
Just wonder if they are still working?!!

I'd be quite happy just to go up in one and maybe take the controls for a bit

:devil:

haven`t had the pleasure of Afghanistan as yet, but I`m sure it`s just round the corner. I know the Gulf is on the cards again in March sometime. I`d imagine the test beds are fine if you built them well enough. We never broke one at Cottesmore in the 4 years I was there.

"Ooo Ahh" the mighty Jaguar and the first one is in my old squadron colours, 41f. "Ra Ra"!

You can hear the roar of the mighty Adour but you can hear the whine of the RB199!!!

Sorry chaps slipped back into a bit of RAF nostalgia!

"hear the roar" those Jags are pathetic, so underpowered it`s rediculous, they only just get off the runway! Sorry I`m not a geek honestly.
