http://www.arrse.co.uk/ Anyway enough about you.... lets talk about me.... en Mon, 20 May 2013 08:28:26 GMT vBulletin 60 http://www.arrse.co.uk/images/misc/rss.png http://www.arrse.co.uk/ http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/199013-question-short-belfast-c-1-a.html Sun, 19 May 2013 23:34:48 GMT Evening folks, hopefully someone around here can help with or point me in the right direction for a question I have. I've been trying to find out what the payload was for the Short Belfast, she of "Captain and crew all well, no sign of scurvy as yet" fame :), when it first turned up but I'm having some trouble finding anything definitive. A lot of the Internet pages, as well as the couple of books I've been able to consult so far, seem to give quite varying figures. Know I might have better luck over on PPRuNe or E-Goat but alas I don't have an account with our crustacean brethren and quite frankly it's too late and I've had too much to drink to be arsed to start registering new ones at this time of night. Any help that can be given gratefully appreciated. ]]> Aviation Brick http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/199013-question-short-belfast-c-1-a.html http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/198965-all-military-aviators-who-enjoy-little-tipple.html Sat, 18 May 2013 12:19:49 GMT I'm given to understand that the MAA are about to amend the rules regarding alcohol and flying to the effect that there will be no alcohol to be consumed within 24 hours of reporting for flying duties.

Enjoy. :-) ]]> Aviation CrashTestDummy http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/198965-all-military-aviators-who-enjoy-little-tipple.html http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/198901-op-deadstick-70th-anniversary.html Thu, 16 May 2013 20:01:10 GMT After the RAF PR machine's effort for the 70th Anniversary of Op CHASTISE, how should we commemorate Op DEADSTICK and the other GPR/AAC/Airborne elements of Op OVERLORD in 2014? ]]> Aviation Golf_one_one http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/198901-op-deadstick-70th-anniversary.html http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/198900-3-x-saab-viggens-over-north-germany-today.html Thu, 16 May 2013 19:23:46 GMT A formation of 3 of what I think were Saab Viggens flew over my house just North of Minden, Germany around 13:20 today.

Flying quite slow and low and made a tremendous amount of noise. Heading N to S.
Did anyone else lurking around N Germany spot them.?
As I said- I think that they were Swedish Viggens - didn`t know they still flew them! ]]> Aviation LIMA http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/198900-3-x-saab-viggens-over-north-germany-today.html http://www.arrse.co.uk/aviation/198834-aac-pilot-selection.html Wed, 15 May 2013 15:58:38 GMT Hey everyone, just enquiring as to if anyone has had experience with applying for AAC pilot selection from an infantry regiment.
