Military Aircraft: airshows, operational, whatever, lets see what you have!

By to days standards, in Britain at least, the original Pup would qualify as a microlight, so you wouldn't need a full PPL to fly one !

Funny that you wouldn't need a full licence to fly a difficult plane. Its too hard to regulate for every eventuality but that's one that could contribute to the Darwin awards

I'm fairly certain that the first picture is not a B-24 Liberator but an Avro Lancaster. The cockpit glass is not correct for the B-24, the B-24 did not have a Gun turrent on the top in the main body, and the 4 engines in the picture are Rolls Royce Merlins which were on the Lancaster. If you Google B-24 Liberator pictures and Avro Lancaster pictures you can see the difference.

In any event great looking pictures.

Yes, you are right. I took the pictures 3 years ago and I've forgot what it was. Now when you mention it I see it's pretty obvious since the plane has brittish markings, not american.

Fantastic shots ! Especially the last one second to last one

If she's a pilot then I think some airforces have taken a lax view on safety. Those heels would not be suitable in an emergency situation.

I'm suitably disgusted.

Looks like she is a stewardess. : If she does during a flight, can crash the plane.

I guess I shouldn't post the other airshow babe shot. It's much worse.

how badly out of focus could it be?

Great shots btw

Not an airshow as such but some shots from last weekend's Australian F1 Grand Prix.

Hi Keith.
Now you know it's not nice to tease people, you can't leave dozens of minds wondering what can be so bad, if it's really bad you may need a NSFW rating!
So come on stop teasing and show us.... Pulease! ;D
BTW nice set of pics, thanks.

Cheers Graham.
