I think 1/125th second shutter speed is needed :wink:

The Vulcan: Amazing aeroplane and technology for the day.

My father recalls day and night exercises in Gloster Javelins simulating attacks in the ‘Cold War’ and he was always astonished on approaching a Vulcan, at speed, that its turning circle could out perform that of his fighter jet!

The Seafire was the carrier born version of the Spitfire .

It is also notable also for its post war record, where one plane formed Fidel Castro’s airforce and is now on display outside the Museum of The Revolution.

The testicle crushing machine inside the Museum Of The Revolution gives a graphic insight into why many Cubans thought revolution was a good idea

Well, the Javelin was a very heavy aircraft with some ‘issues’ :wink:

The Gloster Javelin did have at least one advantage in that;

“A complete box of Tiger Beer would fit into each gun magazine and be perfectly cooled after flight”
