Im with stupid

No picture showing up on my browser just the story
 
just refreshed the page Ive got it now
 
Brilliant. :lol:

I wonder if it will inspire others to continue the joke. :amstupid:
 
whats wrong with that, the navi isnt flying the plane and at that sort of speeds he would only be "distracted" for a couple of seconds.

some people have no sense of humour..
 
Brilliant!

Some of my boat racing mates used to have "Oh Sh!t Not Again" on the underneath of their boats, only showing when they crashed!!!

I think it's brilliant. Only the Daily Mail would blow it out of proportion.

Good to see the MoD having a sense of humour too. It's training, practice and not in combat - I am sure they are consummate professionals when in combat.

Thanks to the Guy who sent his pics to the press :cuckoo:
This will seriously effect anymore low level sorties...

Just feed the Anti Lowfly Lobby more ammo, Superb :nono:

Usual comments like... Wasting Tax payers money!.. The Government are already after making more military cut backs.. Low Level Flying could be one of em!!

I know the comment from a RAF spokesman laughed off the picture, but I bet for sure behind closed doors the WSO gets a good roasting

Nice one cheers

ps.. I wouldn't plan any trips to Wales soon..

why's that? are you thinking they're going to suspend low flying for a while?

Quite possible they could avoid the usual areas, or even head North to Scotland?

Not too long ago a program was on Welsh TV, regarding complaints that Jets 'performed' for people on the hill..
This will just fuel there petition to ban low flying around the 'Loop' :thinking:

Isn't it the Daily Mail's job to have a sense of humour failure ?

Oh, wait, you're the other side of the coin... my 'pologies ... as you were ;)
 
one blokes selfishness could potentially ruin a hobby for many more....Great work for probably £200....

Rumoured to be £50 actually. :cuckoo:
I truly hope this doesn't go the way that some of us think that it might.
When I first saw the shot a few weeks ago, I thought it was bloody brilliant that the aircrew were having a laugh. Why not?!!!
But the tabloids that only deserve space on a nail in the outdoor building get hold of the picture and it could now cause a few changes. I hope not.
I hope it will just die a quiet death.

What on earth are many people on about here? :dummy:

Quite often a Nav is doing nothing in the back seat, why on earth is a military lad not allowed to have a joke? :shrug:

Having just left the RAF after 25 years, I know how the sense of humour works & believe me, most of the civilian population would cringe at what we laugh at.

It’s called coping, the crews can’t afford to enjoy their flying while on operations, so surely they are entitled to have a laugh here. So many here are simply pee’d off that they never took the shot!

The crew will not be in big trouble for this, there will be a token statement about professionalism. :bat:

It made I larf! and it did no harm.
 
It just shows how fearless and great our pilots/navigators are in the RAF, these fly 50ft above the ground that's why they were sent into the iraq bombing missions by preference of the American military Gulf war II.
A light hearted brilliant show of sense of humour by a navigator who was NOT flying the GR4.

Don't beleive that, knowing the space rates and number of appearances in various publications, it'll be more than that.

Add the legit fees to all of the unauthorised usage fees (which will run and run) and a determined photographer could easly work that pic to well over £500

Yes, but the guy on the hill...probably wont have. He'll have been happy with getting his petrol paid for and a credit in the paper.

Thats just the way it works.
 
There's (another) new thread on this in Talk Photography, this time with a BBC link. The photo in that story is credited to Picture It Now - haven't compared the cropping to see if the original photographer's copyright has been cropped off.

No, I believe he's agreed to syndicate through PIN. Nice little earner for him though.
