BTTM (Big Tin Triangle from Manchester)

Postby C » Thu Mar 15, 2012 4:38 pm

For those of you that know me on FB, then you may have seen these before. For those that haven't, well, a couple of years ago I was lucky enough to be in a very special formation (no, I didn't have a Jeremy Clarkson smug face for a month later...much!). :)

Apologies for picture quality (particularly the first - I just like the composition of that one), as they were taken without too much paying attention to the camera, and on a compact.

I might share a few more when time allows. :)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

These are incredible!  Not too many people get a chance to take shots of a Vulcan from the air!
