You're Top Poster: #5   | Wonderful aircraft, it was still being used in Vietnam as AEW/Command and Control aircraft. As for the Trident, there is one at Cosford and the viedo of UB40s version of Red Red Wine was filmed in one!

You're Top Poster: #23 | This is one very graceful A/C....must be, even the missus loves 'em !. Thses pics where taken at USAF Museum at Dayton (inside but very shiny !). I must say that the polished aluminium really suits Columbine, it must have been a real treat to see this one flying into a destination in the early evening sun. Columbine currently dominates the Presidential collection of 'planes that have been used by previous Presidents of the USA. The second one, even with the AEW stuff hung on her, still looks gorgeous and is in the cold war section. It's not until you stand under one of these that you realise just how big they are !

You're Top Poster: #23 | Heres a few more, taken at Oshkosh....you can tell by the glorious sun outside !. Can any one advise on the two huge cooling fans in the cockpit shot....where they original equipment (did the sharp end get that hot in operation ?) or are they a 'field mod' for use in hot climes ?. I

Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?
