I think there was an episode of Danger Man filmed at Portmerion which inspired McGoohan to use it as "The Village".

There are a few clips on YouTube - might give you some idea of what it was like.

Vulcans and Super Etendards reminded me of this - amazed to find it on the interweb after all these years! http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/mongsoft/images/falklandscartoon.jpg What have Spock's mother and Port Stanley runway got in common? Both been fucked by Vulcans! I was at Cranfield when this was ...

Seconded!

Or Red Arrows ..

Just a very few from my collection (the 70's were my formative years) http://www.requesound.com/imagenes/the%20who%20tommy.jpg http://www.soundstagedirect.com/media/the_who_whos_next.jpg http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/tMB-aQoB.jpg http://thedarksideofoz.com/img/Pink_Floyd-Dark_Side_of_the...

The A-10 Thunderbolt. Still find it hard to apply the U word to an aircraft, but it's not pretty.

Larks vomit?

84mph @ what average cruising height? 10k ft? That's going to be bloody cold. From wiki: Service ceiling: 14,173 ft (4,320 m) I think it would have had to keep close to it's ceiling to reduce the chances of interception. So sitting in a bucket half way up Everest - that sounds fucking cold alright!...

I'll be back with a few too - some goodies that I have too in there Bella!

Forerunner to the DH Mosquito, the DH88 Comet (I have a deHavilland bias - something to do with working at Hatfield for many years)

Well Spitfire, Mosquito and Vulcan are in my top 10, plus http://www.deltaaviation.co.uk/gifs/Gallery/Large/Tiger_Moth/Tiger_Moth_Flights_PK_Over_Landscape.jpg and any number of these .. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a4/Minimoa.jpg/300px-Minimoa.jpg http://www.fly13.co.uk/Eur...

That reminds me of this (which I'll have to post in the tv nostalgia thread as well)

Apparently it flew, very briefly, only once.

Now that IS ugly! Horrible! Did it fly or just plummet?
