It was fantastic to have so many aircraft up at once - all with their own dramas.

I'd very much like to see the screenshot of Matt's upside down Harrier :)

Thank you again and many thanks for making me feel so welcome despite my lack of experience

Many thanks for the video.
That's made my first Armageddon even more memorable!

I've subscribed to your youtube, I'm looking forward to more quality content like that each week! ;)

Look there was a reasonable excuse as to why that happened....I've explained it too many times already, working on tanks for a day job means that I find myself looking for a good "hull down" firing position to protect from any incoming fire, and it just so happens that I found such a good position in that location that i would have been daft not to use it!

Only problem was I happened to be flying a Harrier and completely overshadowed the fact that I had finished work for the evening, these things happen but sleep well knowing that your tax money is very well spent that I'm constantly looking for ways to better the UK's interests and protect her in all moments of my day. :lol:

I do hope this clears up what could otherwise be looked at as a very embarrassing event, I mean after all it was in the best interests of her majesty. 8-)

Or was it target fixation Matt? I can just imagine how annoying it was seeing the A-10C evade every shot. Don’t fret it.

In seriousness, it is an interesting clip.
Unfortunately I didn't evade every shot, I ws shot down but took longer to reach terra firma than Matt.
I notice after each attack I fly levelish until the commencement of the next attack. Next time I'll try not to.
