Had to do a trip to Toronto today to pick up some tools. This Clunk is preserved on Derry Road in Malton ( Toronto if you will ) close to where the Avro factory was.

What a beauty. A big beauty !

Who gets cockpit duty?

Sweet, but she could do with a little TLC on that tip tank.

Wonderful aeroplane, the Clunk! And HUGE with it, but then Canada's a big country of course.

Boring, ordinary day here: two Chinooks, a Hercules at not very many feet above ground level, a brace of Typhoons heading for Wales and a grey Islander pottering about near the Special Forces training area at Pontrilas (just south of Hereford)........and that's before 10:00 am. It may get more interesting later.

There's a newer monument just beyond the Clunk, I'm guessing some numpty in a truck or other piece of machinery backed into it. You can see creases all the way around as if it's been pushed up.

I think that's Rat and his Dad, or his son in the cockpit. They like to sneak over there and play a little Cold War intercept

Chinooks and Typhoons ? Oh yeah...my idea of a boring day

More likely heading for tea and buns at Valley.

Caught a KC-135 cruising over our shop today. By the time I ran into the shop, through the hall to my office, grabbed my back pack, took out the camera bag, swapped lenses, this is where he was.

just when i was about to fall asleep at the end of a workday, i got tsurprised by a low passing F-16!
Thanks for the wake up call

Captain Canada · May 20, 2015, 03:18:05 PM

Nice ! Love them fast, low and loud !

Very strange chopper over East London. Half of me swears it was a Puma, the other half that it was something similar but Russian.

Captain Canada · May 21, 2015, 12:33:16 PM

Did you see Rambo walking the streets ?

Librarian · May 21, 2015, 01:01:36 PM

Yup!! He's delivering Warburtons bread at the moment

Heading back from Oxford toward home today I saw a 'C-17' turning steeply onto the approach for Brize Norton.

Then I saw it didn't have any winglets, and realised it was an A400M, the first one I've ever seen!
