On with the program: The airplanes ! | ||
The Belgian Airforce also participated, here with a C-130 Hercules to offload troops as part of an invading force | ||
West Coast of Scotland, a RAF Puma departs from Kinloss Airbase | ||
After a rapid offload of troops this Puma departs fast to avoid any enemy fire | ||
This Belgian Hercules seems to enjoy the late-afternoon sun, waiting for departure while some action is still going on. | ||

NAVAL IMPRESSIONS II |
||
Some detail images of the US Navy planes on the Lossiemouth platform..... | ||
.... it was nice to have a view inside and some explaination... | ||
.... a good view of the launching-tubes for sonobouys... | ||
.... and other equipment to trace for example submarines | ||
... only thing missing was the sun out here, which gives 'sunny shots'. Our days were a bit foggy and cold... cold... ;-) | ||
Later on Cpt. Townsend explained us that the Smurf had no authority, as we have to believe him on his word..... | ||
Captain Ray Townsend had all the time to talk about his planes, inside and outside. One of a consoles on board. | ||
A few other impressions of the Naval sleuth.... | ||
Hah, what's on the menu for today ?? | ||
For hours and hours sometimes this is your 'office'.... | ||
...and this is Ray's own workplace. And see who's there... the Evil-Glasses Smurf !! | ||
