Re: OT, photos of low level flying
Thanks Larry. Your confidence is rewarded. I remember seeing the legendary (and quite mad) Don Bullock flying a B17 at zero feet at an airshow in the 70s. He demolished a B25 and 6 people's lives at Biggin Hill, after which very low flying was banned for ever...

Re: OT, photos of low level flying
That set is missing one of these images: http://goo.gl/LivOd1 I used to work with a lab technician from whom I heard about that old story about B-25 in 1945. I forgot, - either his cousin or uncle saw this on the street in NYC himself.

Re: OT, photos of low level flying
Thanks, Larry, that was quite interesting! I did a bit of low-level flying back in the day. Some of it was even legal.

RE: OT, photos of low level flying
Wow, those pilots and photographers are brave. We were in the Scottish highlands in 200? and wer buzzed by jets from the RAF, very low level in a ravine. Couldn't get the camera around in time :-( Gerrit -Original Message- From: PDML [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Larry Colen Sent: Friday, March 21, 2014 3:19 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: OT, photos of low level flying A friend on another mailing list posted this link to photos and stories of low level flying.

Re: OT, photos of low level flying
Thanks for that, Larry. Really enjoyed it. The SAAF flew Shackletons on coastal patrol missions until quite recently. They have all been pensioned off now. One had to land in the Sahara en route to a festival in the UK & was never recovered. All the SAAF Harvard trainers were either scrapped or sold privately. They had a lot. The private ones still participate at air shows. I remember driving on a rural road not far south of Phalaborwa some years ago when a couple of Canberras gave us a hell of a fright when they shot past only about 100m away in a valley to our right! The SAAF has no flying Spitfires left. They restored a few but they all subsequently crashed.
