That was pretty awesome. I bet it's a pretty fool proof way to get new pilots to line up with something substantial.
How that reminds me of a site about 40 miles from Lossiemouth where they used to use our trenches to practice swooping down for a bombing run, WHILE WE WERE STILL IN THEM! They seemed to think it was really funny when we complained. Flying that low (imagine farm house height) is anything but....

How do you know he's targetting it - he might just be having a look. Perhaps a budding Sean McGrail in there (he was a navy pilot).
Anyway, he'd have to fire a hell of a lot of missiles at it to approach the damage done by a certain eminent archaeologist of yesteryear who was let loose on it.

I've been in trenches that the RAF decided would make good practice targets too, bloody frightning when they blat overhead at about 100 foot high. Same thing happened with army helicopters. I wonder if there is some sort of vendetta against archaeologist we don't know about.....
....attempting to control and dominate british archaeology since 1984...

Our site on Anglesey was treated to a full half hour display by the Red Arrows from RAF Valley, all centred around the excavation. .

I reckon they shoud fire a couple of hell fire missles into it get a great section.
What do you mean lost on price again!

Doing a watching brief near the Red Arrows homebase at Scampton, I once had them overhead non-stop for two days practicing the same manouvre, the one with the heart and the arrow, over and over again
I hate to admit it but it wore thin after after a while.

Where's your sense of romance?
As a closet aeroplane spotter, I was delighted recently to be treated to a dempnstration of the new ?66 million a pop Typhoon. It was fun having it take off over our heads for the first few times but even I lost interest after about three hours.

Your lack of archaeological imagination disappoints me Curator

Been inspecting your patially completed death star, have you? It'll never last...
Does anyone know if there's any truth to the rumour that if you ping a warplane with the EDM, it sends the computer berserk as it thinks that a missile has just locked on?
