    Hard enough to hide the motor, but you've no chance with the speaker..

    Pay too much attention to the basics and you don't get the picture - or you drive into him.... Fairly safe from MiGs over the North Sea back then. About one write-off a week back in those days - http://www.ukserials.com/losses-1970.htm * * don't read the notes with some of these, if you're concerned about people doing things properly....

    I've never heard of anybody having any issues, but I do wonder about flammable solvents and the possibility of the odd spark..?

    Raymond Baxter explains it here, at the end... [video=youtube;-pVAAcwaFMI] .when the Bear came to Fairford in 1993..

    Bloke here - http://www.projectoceanvision.com/vox-06.htm - admits having it done to him in a Phantom - there's a lot of things to look at... ..they probably wouldn't do the sonobouy trick these days..

    Mersey Ferry Snowdrop - it used to look like this..

    Sir Peter Blake's Snowdrop has finally emerged - in service in a few weeks for a couple of years.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-31550135

    They might have risked flying it out to Malta in the hope that it would get sorted out by the additional ground crews available there..? ..or, maybe the rats were trying to find a way out to a place of asylum..?

    Going back to the Shackleton, I wonder if the demise of WR986 at Safi is unique in aviation history? 'Rat infestation'. http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=157361 ..perhaps they needed an additional crew member..?

    Various "games" do go on - we tend to see pictures taken in clear weather - in less perfect conditions, keeping station beside the intercepted plane is not at all easy. On more than one occasion, the Bear has drifted downwards in cloud, until the intercepting pilot has suddenly found himself at 150 feet. Tu 95 seems to be a remarkably reliable device - has one ever crashed outside Russia?

    Well, he's definitely famous now... [video=youtube;ut6D-1akP_w]

    That applies to most maritime/patrol/surveillance/AEW aircraft.

    Didn't he play for Inter Milan?

    A bit of kitbashing....? ..or it that a 'rye' comment in a post about oats..?

    Google Maps still shows 7 Blinders in Libya, but I doubt that they would work... https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=29%C2%B0+11%E2%80%B2+58.18%E2%80%B3+N++16%C2%B0+00%E2%80%B2+26.17%E2%80%B3+E&ie=UTF8&ll=29.193956,16.011726&spn=0.004116,0.004823&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6

    Indeed, but it's horrifying that a 'journalist' can warn us to look out for something that seems to have last flown in 1992 - they also deleted the correct silhouette, just in case (I suppose), despite me telling them that that was correct for a 22M. It's fairly clear that the Tu 22 (Blinder) isn't swing-wing with those tip-pods, for a start, surely? Let's hope the chaps in the planes have more up-to-date charts... The Daily Mirror did once illustrate a story about a WW2 bomber crew member with a picture claiming to show a "bomber over Berlin" - it was a Handley-Page 0/400.
  23. Broithe
    The BBC has produced this 'helpful' guide to spotting Russian bombers - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-31537705 - with this silhouette :- ..but, it shows the old Tu 22.. ..not the current user of the designation.. ..they do show a three-quarter silhouette of the correct aircraft later in the article. Edit - They've believed me and changed the picture in the article - that was quick, just a few minutes since I emailed them..

    Available from Oxford - - should anybody be planning a cameo scene..
  25. Broithe
    It means Военно-воздушные силы - "military air forces" - seen better here, on a MiG 31. России is "Russian", of course.
