Nice to see she still has her Black Buck mission markings on the nose

An old friend of mine always said her brother was on the Black Buck Six mission and ill hold my hand up and say i didnt believe her. Then a couple of years ago he (Dave Castle) was on the telly talking about it LOL I still chuckle at the bit of the chat with Rio while trying to buy time so they could just land due to lack of fuel that went something like:

Unidentifed aiecraft where are you from?

Tar mate, believe it or not that is the result of trying to get around an insane amount of noise with pushing the raw image to far, going B&W was the only way I could work around it lol
