Re: Florennes spotters day October 18
He was flying with RAF 3 Squadron at that time. Thanks Jimi, that detail escaped us, and now it makes more sense. For those of you who never heard of Jean de Selys Longchamps, like we did, check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_de_Selys_Longchamps for his daring raid on the Gestapo HQ in Brussels...

Re: Florennes spotters day October 18
The reason was a memorial for Jean de Selys-Longchamps if I'm not mistaken. Yes, that was one reason we learned. However, we spoke a member of RAF 3 Sqn and he told us a fuzzy story of a pilot who served with 3 Sqn flying Hawker Typhoons in 1943, while in the Florennes neighbourhood, who was killed...

Florennes spotters day October 18
On Wednesday October 18 a spotters day was organized at Florennes airbase. Despite attempts by my friend and I the exact reason why remained unclear, but it was a well organized one and we had a good time. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53282180975_23179bf987_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com...

Re: Baana 22 highway exercise in Finland.
I'm sure no one on this forum will not! Great contribution, thanks for sharing. It's a good thing this exercise was held in late September, I love the Autumn colors in the background as much as the jets!Hope you like

Re: Florennes 25/02/2021
Great shots! After the TLP left Florennes one would almost forget all about this airbase with its nice photo opportunities...

Ha, I thought 'hey, that date looks familiar!'
The loaded J-513 shot is wonderful, I'm sorry I missed that one.

Re: Phantom FGR.2 canopy thing
Hi Frank, thanks for your reply. And thank you for mentioning britmodeller.com! As a matter of fact, I came across this difference in canopy versions when examining the manual of the Airfix 1:72 scale model of the Phantom FGR.2 I am about to build. I didn't know britmodeller.com, it's a welcome addi...

Phantom FGR.2 canopy thing
(I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for my question, but if not I will be told, I guess) Recently I discovered a funny thing about Phantom FGR.2's 'middle canopy': some have this part of the canopy as a window, but others have it in solid metal with a periscope or something like that poking t...

Royal Saudi Air Force Museum from outside the fence
Went to the Royal Saudi Air Force Museum in Riyadh this morning, only to find out that it opens at 4PM... Unfortunately I was to meet a customer at that very time moment, so all I could do was taking these few shots from outside the fence with my pocket camera: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50...
