GAM-87 Skybolt ALBM.
Acquired from the US to replace the cancelled British weapon Blue Steel. Then JFK cancelled Skybolt leaving the British somewhat butthurt so JFK let us have Polaris.

Good question, the left hand side of the photo looks a bit off as well, pixels?

The real-life Maverick who took on 7 Soviet jets in a classified Korean War dogfight
The existence of the improbable dogfight remained classified for decades, yet the details of what happened are the stuff of legends.

I never thought I'd ever see it again but somebody has posted video of the Jaguar simulator on Twitter.
I worked on this at Lossie in the mid 80s when I was an RAF sponsored student. Those hundreds of hours making Airfix models in my bedroom as a teenager finally paid off and I greatly improved many of the models on it while getting paid an absolute pittance.

Either that plane's a LOT bigger than I thought they were or landing on that boat would be a real challenge - LOTs of G's when stopping, I'd imagine
What's that model plane doing on the boats roof - is that for training?? - a "stimulator" I believe they're called

I saw that the other day and wanted to post it, I could smell Downward Dog all over it, looks like I was right, hahaha. But I was on my phone and didn't have time to fiddle about.

The Lossie Jaguar wing were a great bunch and very welcoming to a clueless student, in stark contrast to the Lightning wing at Binbrook where I had spent the previous summer...
Jaguar at Lossiemouth was my number one choice when it came to assignment after wings but the opinion of the instructors was that I wasn't ready for single seat low level tactical aviation so off I went to Tornado.

Pixels, as the higher resolution versions floating around out there more clearly give the game away.

Was going to poke around a Lockheed t33 ( I think) on a plinth outside a basein guatamala yesterday - decided to ask if it could take some pics - it was made very clear that I by the heavily tooled up gate guards should fuck off immediately

I've always seen the Lightning as a bit of a wrong'un due to the alignment of the exhaust nozzles. The kind of plane that looks a lot fun but you wouldn't want to marry your daughter...

As a modern woman my daughter could marry any Cold War interceptor she wanted.
Except a Starfighter…

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
I suppose the saving grace is that she wouldn't be married to it for very long...?
