Thanks David! That would be good to see the F18s coming and going.

Note the thermos flask behind your left shoulder in #1 and the “dump and burn” mast, (the nozzle at the bottom of the figure of 8 structure between the exhausts in the last shot) from where the fuel used to be dumped and burned for the River Fire events.

Thanks Dennis! I thought that must have been the dump and burn mast between the exhausts..
What aspect of the F-111s were you working on at Amberley? Must have been an great thing to be involved with!

Thanks Andrew! I'm sure they are different to the modern cockpits of today, but it was also interesting seeing how complex the F-111 cockpit was compared to older ones on display yesterday such as the Hawker Hunter and P-51 Mustang.
Cheers,
