How many beers would it take to make you fancy this one?

Reminds me of a Star Trek transporter accident! (or a Babylon 5 Shadow)

(edit: dunno what happened to the original image - found another one and someone who shares my view about its looks http://airminded.org/2008/01/15/the-...-of-aerospace/ )

Was sitting on hill in my Dads car, near Guildford when I was a kid when I saw a plane in the distance just hanging in the air??

I sat amazed as a youngster would and excitedly pointed it out to my dad who stared in amazement too until it dropped from sight. Saw on the news a couple of days later that it was the maiden flight of the Harrier.

Fast forward 15 years and I still got the same feeling of awe as one scooted overhead and let loose at the Argy positions in front of us on Tumbledown.

As much as I drool over Spitfires and Lancasters, my heart will always belong to the Harrier.

Edited for mong spelling

The Mozzie for me too. So good that the Nazis copied and named it the...

Focke-Wulf Ta 154 Moskito (Mosquito).

If only there were a few still flying in the U.K. including one with the BBMF.
