These were taken the day after we had an Italian TF-104G land short on our runway. His main gear kicked up the barrier cable and sheared the right main wheel off and the rest is history. Luckily nobody was hurt and the airplane was hoisted on an Italian flatbed by Big Bertha. Pretty cool diorama idea!

Hardly suprising they cocked up the odd landing - have you seen the speed these babies come in at. Those small stubby wings gave little lift so it was all power, power, power!

I can't wait to see the rest of your piccys.

Makes me dead jealous. All the photo's I have of my time in the Army, revolve around jungles, and wet holes in the ground. With a smattering of armour, helicopters and drunks.

How come you look so happy and your mate looks so upset in that pic? Not enough cuddles for him? :P
