| 1376753 | 2014-06-09 08:36:00 | The only jet fighter we have had was one meteor, vampires and the venom in Cyprus. ****hawk was a ground attack plane. Just because it had AIM9 and some cannons that never made it a fighter. The nimrod even had AIM9 would you call it a fighter? | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1376754 | 2014-06-09 08:48:00 | The nimrod could be called a lot of things, but few airframe/electronics combinations were replaced by the aircraft it was replacing as many times as the nimrod replaced / was replaced by the shackelton. It is rumoured that the nimrod was able to detect traffic light control signals from extreme distances, and lock onto them to the exclusion of all else. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1376755 | 2014-06-09 09:34:00 | Replaced by the Shack lol. One of my mates did a RAF pom exchange and he went to the shack squadron. He said they were unique in poverty rock and like our Wasp Flight where we did everything in house from operating the plane outside to depot teardown maintenance and cannibalizing parts from crashed planes. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1376756 | 2014-06-09 22:18:00 | t is rumoured that the nimrod was able to detect traffic light control signals from extreme distances, and lock onto them to the exclusion of all else. This from Snopes: A report has revealed that two traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved in an unusual incident whilst checking for speeding motorists on the A1 road between Oldhamstocks and Grantshouse. Last May, they were using a hand-held radar device to trap unwary motorists on the Edinburgh to London trunk road. One of the unnamed officers used the device to check the speed of an approaching vehicle, and was surprised to find that his target had registered a speed in excess of 300 miles per hour. The £5000 machine then seized up and could not be reset by the bemused PC's. The radar had in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado aircraft in the North Sea, which was taking part in a simulated low-flying exercise over the Borders and Southern Scotland. Following a complaint by Sir William Sutherland, Chief Constable of the Lothian & Borders Police force to the RAF liaison office, it was revealed that the officers had a lucky escape - the tactical computer on board the aircraft not only detected and jammed the "hostile" radar equipment, but had automatically armed a Sidewinder air-to-ground missile ready to neutralize the perceived threat. Luckily the Dutch pilot was alerted to the missile status and was able to override the automatic protection system before the missile launched. The Police have so far declined to comment, although it is understood that officers will be advised to point their radar guns inland in future. :lol: |
