Essexbird,

Ignore 1.4G. He isn't the slightest bit interested. Check his posting history and simply ignore.

Cheers

1.4G, you do seem to have a fascination with size. I'm sure I'm not the first woman to say to you that it ain't important!!!

Essexbird,

Didn't you think before posting? Did you not read his rules in FAQ or his Sticky? Did you not realise that anyone wanting to post an image of a military aircraft must first seek 1.4G's approval?

Those without approval will be ruthlessly hunted down. He will find you! Every thread is meticulously checked so that he can copy and paste a suitable diatribe in response. First though he has to wipe away the spit and froth from his screen after viewing said image.

I know that he particularly hates low-flying Tornado images, so I'll cut him some slack. Unfortunately it was taken with a camera! From 15th May.



1.4, at least your screen is nice and clean again!

Cheers

TJ

Well I won't need to ask for anybody's permission to post anything today, as due to crap wx, there was certainly no wokka, no eurofighter and not a lot else, not that I bothered going to have a look anyhow. Well done to the Blades however, who did overfly the house, not that I could really see them, only hear them.

1.4G - you sure you don't want any advice as to where to stick your stick, it would solve the problem you seem to have with it ruining your photos each time

Essexbird,

Do what I do. Put the wretched little toad on your 'ignore' setting and then you won't have to read his tedious drivel. The beauty of this setting of course, he will try and come out with a smart half baked response and I won't be able to see it. Someone else made the point that a) thankfully, if he was here, then at least he wasn't buggering things up on ops and b) 1.4G referred to the metric weight of his brain.

Good shots by the way and keep 'em coming.

Al R,

You are a charlatan sir - I find you here posting to complete strangers when you promised me a series of Mach Loop pix of Tornado's at low level AND
full details of lens/aperture/filter/f-stop/multi-burst/fish-eye/strap/DPM bag
etc etc etc.

What have you to say sir ? I may have to ask for pistols for two and coffee for one....
