14 British serviceman lost during operations after the crash of a RAF Nimrod MR2, a very sad day for the families and the RAF.
They served their Country to the fullest. May they rest in piece.

Forums Works / I better say hello

« on: August 28, 2006, 05:21:38 PM »

Well I better say hello after being on the site for a number of weeks. It was rude of me not to do so at the start.  :msn_cry:

Well hello, I'm in my late 40's, I just completed over 30 years in the Royal Air Force, (just over 6 years to go) as a photographer, mainly my background is linked to the reconnaissance side of things, the processing and printing of the recce imagery. Married with two grown up daughters, who as of yet have not left home.

I love military history, mainly looking at photographic reconnaissance in WW2. I was lucky to spend a number of years working within the main RAF film archive. At this present time I have just completed a deployment to the gulf with 39(1PRU) Squadrons, with the PR9 Canberras.

Well thats me, if you have any questions about RAF equipment or the service, please do not hesitate in asking me. I will try and answer all questions where I can.

The art work is added after the aircraft gets to it's operational base in the 'war' zone, by military law they should not do it, but no ones stops them.
On their return to the UK, the art work is removed. I have seen one aircraft from I think II(AC) Sqn, thats 2 squadron still wearing hers.

Have a look at this RAF site about nose art Artwork

Thanks No.1 you asked the question before me.
Santynus, if you could do a PR version it would be great and as No.1 said, with your permission I would place it on my site with full credit to you and a link to your site if you have one, if you don't have a site, I think you should get one to display your great work.  :msn_thumbup:

Missed RIAT 06 and Waddington 06 this year due to being away.
