How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
OK, let me think of a pthy title and I'll bang up a link later today.
Spitfire's Walter Mitty thread of Military Curios is the first one that springs to mind. Might need some work.
Just make the U75 military discussion thread title easy for the boys and girls at Cheltenham to remember...

I was thinking more what's hot on the camouflage catwalk this season?

My very first memory of a Vulcan was about that close - one screaming uphill just above the treetops on the Salen to Acharacle road after a low pass along Loch Sunart, ear-splitting, until the sound of the three in formation that rapidly followed it obliterated every other noise. Awesome..!

On the the personal camouflage front I can confirm the Arktis' Comb Arid disappears into Kurdistan like nothing on earth.
It's possible that there'll be a new camouflage rollout for the Tanks - ATDU have been trialling a digital pattern...

Sadly enough I saw some of that comb arid and though it looked like it might be very good in some places. It's a bit like the old WW2 SAS stuff I think.

Missed the sub forum bit earlier. Was wondering that myself.
I’m a New Posts user so am not bothered at all.
Theory Phil Hist is a contender but is in politics forum.
Transport is possibly too specific.
Bit specialist for General
I’m thinking Transport as most of the contributors will be in there already. And it will probably consist mostly of knee stroking pics of lethal things with wheels or wings. Old and new.
Open to suggestions. I’ll get it sorted later tonight.

Transport seems to fit best? Ah, yeah depends on how you use the forums. I just look at the whole list, although have a limited amount as I have about half of the sub-forums on ignore.

My first experience of something like that happening was rather more mundane, but was a brace of what I now know to have been Jaguars, flying nap-of-the-ground around a hillside near Bakewell, as I was walking nap-of-the-ground around the same hillside.My very first memory of a Vulcan was about that close - one screaming uphill just above the treetops on the Salen to Acharacle road after a low pass along Loch Sunart, ear-splitting, until the sound of the three in formation that rapidly followed it obliterated every other noise.

Yeah, whilst not a perfect match I too think it’s the best existing forum.
One thing is certain: Editor is more likely to have the next Brixton Buzz party at Brewdog than he’d be to add a military discussion subforum to the boards, so the thread needs to live somewhere. And the world politics forum is far too serious for it imo.

I got run over by a Jag while cycling along the A66 upto Brough. My breeks showed the Dragon's Breath of courage that day I can tell you....

I remember it being all over in the space of a few seconds, from initial mad crescendo of roar to a slower rumbling departure. I'm not sure if I was more traumatised or awed - certainly, it was, ah, elemental. I probably thought "fuck me" even if I probably wouldn't have had the presence of mind to say it.

Aye aye.
The Combat 75 Military Surplus Thread. Past, present and future.
A thread for anything that doesn't fall neatly into the ongoing threads about Tanks, Helicopters and Cold War Aviation. Indulge your camo fetishes, share your tales of derring do on The Balcony, discuss small unit tactics and how those guys in the movie are Doing It Wrong. Is there a Lancaster...

I love the Bear. Such an icon of Soviet-era engineering, too. We can't get jet engines that are efficient enough? Well fuck it, we'll brute force a different approach. That and the number of solutions they have which amount to "if you throw enough lead/high explosives at it, it just might work".

Couldn't find any in the 1970s, I see. Probably inaudible over the constant, all-encompassing sounds of disco.

If you ever fly to Zaragoza in Spain, you land at what appears to be a Spanish Air Force base with a small civilian terminal.I must admit, I was a bitabout the notion of military aircraft using civilian airports - is it a very common thing, or just a US thing, or something really exceptional?

I have to say that it felt a little odd to be taxiing out in Bahrain in a Tristar with 300 passengers on board while fully armed Buccaneers and Tornados were using the same runway, but sometimes it’s unavoidable, think of Gibraltar.

JFK seems a more unusual case though, not least because it is one of the busiest civilian airports in the world and there are must be plenty of alternatives for fighter jets to use in the area. La Guardia would seem a more logical choice as the closest air field to NYC, and Wiki lists a total of 16 primary and 2 secondary airports in New York State.
