@Birduder344 @Imshakingmyhea1 Took this a few weeks ago at Lydd.

@Imshakingmyhea1 Got an idea it is to do with the Coastguard

@CristianVi0327 @Hush_Kit Flattered you think me 'a kid', but I'm far from it and don't appreciate my copyrighted images being stolen.

@teaselstudio1 @Hush_Kit Es un pais libre. No tengo tiempo para perder con niños que quieren ser siempre mencionados.

@Birduder344 @Imshakingmyhea1 Often to be seen patrolling the channel down here, or on the ramp at Lydd.

@CristianVi0327 @Hush_Kit Interesting that you have written that to the person who owns copyright on one of the images. I have screenshot your comment will report it.

@teaselstudio1 @Hush_Kit Yo no hago esas cosas

The trouble with social media is that it has turned the tolerated into the intolerable.

@6thairborne My wife's grandfather received "the first bottle of champagne back from France" from a returning glider pilot who he towed on D-Day. I've copies of the press photos taken at the time but sadly not been able to source the original newspaper article. @Hush_Kit @almurray @James1940

Canadian cameramen ? & Sgt. W.R. 'Bud' Sherwood, CFPU filmed Glider Pilots returning from Normandy disembarking at Newhaven(?)., sporting German souvenirs, before they embus to Fargo Camp.

This was flying around the garden hedge. The flashes of orange on the underwings are quite surprising!

@AviationMarlene Only seen it once on active duty, parked at Cairo in 1990. Caught the preserved one at Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace the following year. Lovely machine.

A map showing the countries that operated "Caravelle", either on passenger routes or for cargo. For an aircraft produced in small numbers (282) and belonging to the first generation of civil jets, this is very impressive...

@clark_aviation @RAFMUSEUM Sorry to hear that - hope it calms down soon.

Today, I'd hoped to be at @RAFMUSEUM Cosford to meet up with some old chums and enjoy a day of 'all things' Hawker Hunter. Unfortunately, my old 'war wound' prolapsed disc has flared up badly in the past few months, making a 3+ hour drive each way impossible. Bugger! 😡

@CJManson5692 @BicesterBob @CcibChris Thank you. I am far too old to do anything faddy, so my concern is purely historical accuracy. I've spent over half a decade being fascinated by aircraft and their markings, so spotting it is, perhaps, a little easier for me. I wish you well in your endeavours.

@teaselstudio1 @BicesterBob @CcibChris I just did a very, very close look at the original image, and I admit that I am wrong. However, I have come across far too many people claiming something is "AI" when it really isn't the case in the past simply because doing so is a fad.

@CarlBovisNature Feel free to use this image. It doesn't make sense to most trolls (especially those outside the UK) or bots, but gives one an enormous sense of satisfaction to read them try!

Didn't want to have to, but it's getting quite draining now... should I block the Hedgehog trolls? 🤔 #HedgehogGate 🦔

@Hush_Kit There are so many superb adaptions in the bird world. Check out a diving gannet, or the wing locks on an albatross, or the wing beats of a hummingbird, or the reflexes of a sparrowhawk. Birds are fascinating.

Don’t get me wrong, planes are great. But just watched a seagull land, that is some incredible control surface/propulsion stuff going on. And the wings & propulsion stow perfectly away for taxiing.

@CJManson5692 @BicesterBob @CcibChris Further link, in case you get stuck behind a pay wall. Asisbiz Hawker Hurricane Is lined up with L1559 England 1938 39-01 asisbiz.com/il2/Hurricane/… The national markings are, perhaps, the most reliable indicator, as both fin flashes and red/blue upper roundels came in in mid 1940.

@teaselstudio1 @BicesterBob @CcibChris Actually, no. They're all accurate to 1938. Try doing some actual research before you even consider saying something is "AI".

@CJManson5692 @BicesterBob @CcibChris No, they are not. And. following research, you will find the original photograph, upon which, presumably, the AI based its slop.... key.aero/article/initia Note the lack of fin flashes, the small sqn badge on the fins and the legible serials (sic).

@BicesterBob @CcibChris National markings incorrect for period; squadron markings incorrect for period; serials illegible but all similar; cockpits all occupied by same indistinct character... need I go on?

@teaselstudio1 @CcibChris Prove it's AI!!

@Maddu_550 Guy's a fool...

Prove me wrong !!!
