Yes Yes Yes,

They're all pretty impressive... Like the Mil Hind myself (Rambo 2)

For real power you just can't beat Blighty!!!!!

V-Bomber on a V-twin forum!!!!!







The weather here kept us away, our loss :( , but at least she's back where she belongs, flying. :D :D :D :D :D

Betcha Jim got a good view :evil: :evil: :evil:

Ok, she's got 4 very big engines, but she's a 'V' bomber!!!

Saw the Antonov at Farnborough quite a long time ago, very impressive.

BTW Bagster / Baglux do a tank bag for a small dog!

Nice clips RSV.....I just finished reading the Vulcan 607 book about the Falklands bombing run...To say it was a miracle they even got there let alone knocked out the runway is a massive understatement.
