Guernsey Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Another one from just south of Old Bar. It's good for a laugh when you tell the pax to spot the shark. They get frustrated when they can't see it in the water.[ATTACH=full]22973[/ATTACH]Cheers Scotty Holy mackerel there are some dangerous places to live up there, we've had whales beaching themselves, now we have sharks landing themselves. .

Guest Deskpilot1 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Not here but in the UK. [ATTACH]47396._xfImport[/ATTACH] Across the road from the now demolished RAF Yatesbury in Wiltshire. As a younf RAF trainee, I used to run up and down those hills. One day, the horse developed an RAF roundel on it belly. Not me, I was in the groupe that decided to blown up the monument . It was there for any reason other than to mark some past land owners land. We never did, obviously, but boy, would that have caused a storm if we had. Up close, they're both huge. Never saw any aliens there but it was widely acknowledged that a ghostly bomber is to be seen returning, and crashing, where once the old runway was situated.

pudestcon Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I found the coordinates for 'Marree Man' in South Austalia, but time and weather have done their thing so the image on Google earth can't be seen unless you use old data. Check it out here 29 32' 03.76" S, 137 28' 05.08" E if you are interested. Pud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rankamateur Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 This photo taken by JG3 is one of the most incredible things I have seen photographed in Australia, https://picasaweb.google.com/woblywallaby/WestAustraliaTrip?authkey=Gv1sRgCJbzvM23iO6-vgE#5616927086484502818, I have talked to a few people about it but never got close to a satisfactory answer. Always think to ask John on the way home after having seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thanks guys, this thread is kicking along ok as i'd hoped. Liked the one of the tornado path Rob, good job it wasn't a bit further south eh? DP's one in Wiltshire bought back memories, won't say anymore, in case the chick is still waiting for me at the top of the hill, or her father with his shot-gun:peep wall: .

planedriver Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 It amazes me how some of these are done, but rankamateur, i'm ashamed to say that my son did something very similar in the street in my old LTD while I was on holiday, with my new set of Pirreli's. Who'd have kids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I did something similar in my Dad's worn out 200B on the gravel carparks in front of USQ in Toowoomba back in the early eighties too but there wasn't any grass growing over my handy work. I wondered if they were cores taken at different depths down a test bore, working out from the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bexrbetter Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I wondered if they were cores taken at different depths down a test bore, working out from the middle. Nope (ex-Mitchells Drilling coring rig 19 offsider here). Trust me, just some bored road workers (or farmer), those areas drive you crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfGnome Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 go to this google earth location and it it doesnt come up go to historical imagery and select 12/2003 When you look at this one, swing up a couple of nm to the north west to Alconbury airport (presumably where the bomber was headed) and have a look at the western end of the runway.

rdarby Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 There is a smiley face mowed into the grass off the threshold of 12 at Caboolture. Not quite the same scale but always brings a smile when on short finals. I hope they keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 No Doug. I was there several years leading up to about 1978' Her father didn't own a shotgun as it turned out, but he was a shortish council worker built like the proverbial s***house, and was an all-in wrestler in the evenings:peep wall: Kind Rgds, Planey PS do you have a daughter named Pearl then?, if you did, it wasn't me who was to blame!

Guest Deskpilot1 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 No, not my daughter Planey. I was there several times but before your time. Junior Technician (J/T) course completed below [ATTACH]47403._xfImport[/ATTACH] That's me 2nd from the left. The guy 2nd from the right is the one that fled the shotgun. Mind you, he wasn't the first and definitely not the last. Camp bike comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
