that last pic makes you think what could have been for the aircorps had they bought the super pumas back in the 80s but then changed their mind and got Dauphins!that puma looks stunning in the back round!the AirCorps and RAF seem to be working together alot more now than in the past!its good to see also!
above and beyond

Hi Sniper, I couldn't see you in the Parade! It looks as though it went very well.
Good to see relations building up. At least you've got a proper RAF base to parade at! There's only the Fire training school at Manston for us in Kent, and that's seperate from the airport now. Good Mess though!

Its great to see the NI Wing of the ATC doing as well as ever. The last wing parade I was at had two Pumas on display and not all the cadets got to even see them up close. I was one of the lucky ones though..I even got a flight which was great!! 'pilot_cheesy'
