I thought it was my imagination or I was getting paranoid. I recognised the type of stuff he was writing, but was waiting for someone else to pick up on it.

I did say a few days ago in a post 'is it just me’? and then 'Time to put Hello Folks to bed' looks like the site has been set up!!!. Someone has far too much time on their hands. Thought I could smell a rat from day one. Good move Frank. Let’s put it behind us.

I had my suspicions a day or two back but just didn't connect the dots... next time lads if you suspect anything let me know directly, don't just hint at it, good and all as I am I can't watch all the posts all the time!

I'm geting old too, I can't pick up on every hint :-(

God dam it!!!  :banghead:
 I knew his last few posts were dodgy!!
Anyhoo, my replies were to Claudel, I suppose we can just have the Hawk V PC-9 debate over a cup of Cha instead  :rotfl:

Good work Frank!
Was just reading this thread for the first time and thought that 'Jetman's' posts seemed very like our old "friend" 'FiannaFail'...is that who Lootenant Pidgeon' is?!

Having said that, I am very interested in Claudel's mention of the PC-9's doing 'intercepts' during the recent state visits. Can you expand on these please Claudel?

- what aircraft were intercepted?
- approx location?
- how many PC-9's were on patrol at any one time?
- weapons carried?
- what people were "impressed" by the PC-9's performance during the visits?
- what approx range do the ADR radars cover?

(I dont think any of my above questions are classified??)

I bought several papers each day during the state visits in the hope of seeing photos of PC-9's on patrol during the visits...but to no avail

...no Air Corps patrol footage shown on RTE or TV3 either afaik??

Don't know about intercepts, but on the day of the Queen's departure I was stuck in traffic (happily as it turned out), trying to get to Douglas which in my case meant crossing the airport road when I saw a pc9 appear, having just taken off from runway 17, banking to starboard showing off it's gun pods.

Have to say it looked great and I was very impressed.
