Nice one Nils  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I like the Airbus A400M photos and now that it's flying, what's the news about it ?? Since I didn't re-new my Combat Aircraft subscription I've lost touch with what's going on.

Nils.....some great pics there  :thumbsup: thanks for sharing....some interesting colour schemes as well...the Apache looks....different....saw both the smart cars at Biggin Hill.....I'm sure I read somewhere that it was possible to get the transfers/stickers or whatever they are for your own car ...a limited amount available...not 100% possitive 'bout this though....

Nils,

You must have gone on Saturday, CAVU the whole day! I went on Sunday and it wasn't good, low level clag for most of the day and only cleared up a bit right at the end.

The BoB Smart cars got LOTS of attention. Note the Messersmart has bullet holes where the Spitsmart doesn't....  -_-

I'll post some of my pics in a day or so, but in the meanwhile......

Mmm, there seems to be something wrong with that picture.  Can't quite figure it out though.... ;)

It's like that old Sesame Street song, "Guess which one is not like the others..."
