The Gannet has been quite topical lateley with Steve'ss excellent paints.

This short video shows the moving of a complete aircraft.....the folding wings still come in useful. :)

Shes a tad untidy :) I remember my days on smash and grab at RAF Abingdon....My claim to fame is i picked up the pieces of the Kegworth aircrash on a low loader pretty similar to that one and i got the cockpit section....But some plonker didn't strap it down properly and the boys at AAIB at Farnborough were not too chuffed about the extra damage :$ Its the drivers responsibilty to ensure the straps are done up properly :'( Yeah twas me..... Oh the shame :)

Lovely Vid mate.........

It looks like one of mine mate!! :lol: I'd been SO careful on holiday to shoot so that the end result didn't need editing (I have trouble editing dvd's and its a dvd cam) and all this went horribly wrong walking round Charlestown in Cornwall. I must have accidentally hit the shoot button so I now have 3mins of my feet and footpath! :drinkers:

Mt Dad borrowed my vid camera years ago to film a military band parade.

You see his feet for long peorids and everytime the band goes to start the camera lifts and cuts only starting again as it goes down towards his feet........he had the stop start mixed up :lol: :lol:

Bless him! :lol: That reminds me of something Rick did you know. On one of his all-singing, all-dancing pc's with Windows Media Edition (or whatever it was) installed.. he'd recorded something like Battle of Midway off the TV and then used the editing software to get rid of the adverts. What was he left with... :think: You guessed it. The adverts! :lol: :lol:
