@Hush_Kit My first unexpected jet was a low-flying G91 in Tigermeet markings by the beach. To this day I still hope it flies by again. It was this one, so imagine the disappointment when I found out that was not the norm for combat jet camouflage.

The Goth movement? My great-grandparents invented it mate. Love this picture of them. My great-grandad looking like he's ready to sing a Damned cover at a Camden punk night.
It's funny to meet old pilots and realise they were up there in control of these supernatural machines. Still love to know who the pilot was that beat up St Bees in a Phantom (illegally low) sometime 91-93

Love this image. We've busted through (F-)20, now we're at 21%. Your pre-order today could get us to 22%. You can make a difference and make this brilliant project happen. Light the afterburners and head to here: unbound.com/books/the-hush…
@Hush_Kit Is that why the Korean war never formally ended? Because the MiG-15 looks like a wrapped ham & the Sabre like a hungry carp? MiG-15bis & F-86F-25 circa May 1952
Air travel will largely be replaced by virtual travel in the next century
Airships will have a massive renaissance one day
True of false, statistically most air wars have been won by the force with the kinder looking aircraft?

I don't hold with the term 'toxic masculinity' because it has extraordinary power to destroy and eat men up from the inside, telling us we're all in some way doomed to be it. I am sure the current tone of the conversation about masculinity contributes to this awful statistic.
According to an article I have just read on a reputable news website, three-quarters of those who took their own lives in the UK in 2022 were male. We definitely don’t talk about this enough.

@Hush_Kit Living near Woodbridge and Bentwaters it was always nearly an A-10 so 'fast' is a bit of a loose term.
@Hush_Kit That’s just wonderful. Honeymooned in Whitby, possibly?

@BaA43A3aHY @Hush_Kit Sorry I have caught an inaccuracy here. The hungry carp's mouth looks most like an F-86H, and as I'm sure you know the H model didn't participate in the Korean War. (you are right it really does resemble a carp)
