UKMIL are developing one I believe. We've had one in at BDN a couple of times, only because it was U/S!

After the AWACS debacle, any photos are probably a security risk :wink:

Pringle,

There are a few pics available here: http://pprune.spaces.live.com/photos/

Although i hope the person who took them is keeping a lookout for black omega's pulling up outside his house. :roll:

Pete.

EDIT:

Strange that the website that kicked up such a fuss over some pics of ground equipment hitting one of the seven dwarfs is hosting the above picture's of one of the RAF's latest frontline aircraft. :think:

Indeed and it is only "Photobucket.com Bandwidth Exceeded" that prevents those original photos from STILL being shown on Pprune.

Not the links being deleted.

Just read the PPrune thread and excuse me - what a bunch of self serving
twits - If they think that photos of a stand pushed into a cargo door is a
breech of security a/. they need to get a life (When the Raptor crashed on takeoff at Nellis two years ago there were a bunch of spotters who filmed the event as it happened and no one said anything about "breech of security" more like Sh*thappens - can we have copy of the shots to help figure out what went wrong. - the pictures were on the Internet THAT night for public consumption.

and b/. if it was a totally rare occurence then I would be amazed, despite chocking (and after the first incident) Maintenance intalling a set of brakes to
engine inspection stands , our company has had two incidents involving similar strikes requiring repair again see above for Sh*thappens and gusty winds occur.

Unfortunately with the latest load of **** going round, one can't be too careful of the Red Caps/Snowdrops etc. A crying shame. I've had the opportunity to take quite a few good shots of the RAF at work which any kids etc considering a future in the RAF would really like to see, but because of some over cautious plod/civil servant etc, I have to keep them to myself.
