Renault Clio R27 F1 and McDonnell Douglas F4 Phantom

[Pacman.]

Been on camp the weekend as we have had the Apaches out displaying over the weekend at Duxford. So with the spare time I had waiting on their return. I treated the Clio to a wash and then popped over to do some work on the resident F4 Phantom. So I thought I would get a few cheeky snaps.
I apologise for the quality as these pics are from my Instagram.

I'm thinking about doing a low key meet for a select few here to get some pics with the Phantom. This may involve a small donation to the museum. Will see if we can get it off the ground.

 

[Mr R.]

Amazing pictures Mat, would love to do this with the PH1.

It may be sold by then though.

 

[Pacman.]

Will look into it. Hopefully get a quick session in before the summer ends and I leave the RAF

What are the plans after the RAF? Will rafmatt become postmanmatt?

 

[Pacman.]

The plans are to work on aircraft in some shape or form. Starting to look for jobs at the end of the summer.

Hopefully the ph1 will be back on the road beginning of next month. Hopefully then we can arrange a Clio and planes picture session? @Pacman.

Im inviting myself to this too, if my car is the same colour by then lol

Maybe ill be in the Spec C by then, would be epic to get both PH1's in with that plane though.

I think it would be a case of it being an event limited to only 5-10 cars to start with.
For reasons beyond my control we are very limited on numbers of people allowed on the base.
Any budding photographers out there with a decent camera setup? For best effect we might do a daytime into evening session.

 

[Jekyll]

Yes Scott!!

Yes Matt, get it organized!!

I got a decent Nikon camera and a couple of lenses. I can get hold of better equipment (£4,000+ worth) for a special occasion like this

 

[Pacman.]

Ok chaps asked one of the guys at the hanger. It will be a Sunday after FCS and it will prob be only a group of 5 to start with.
I might do this a couple of times over the summer. So if you don't get on the first one I will do another one in July or August.

Seeing this pic reminds me so much of GTA and stealing the jet.




Anyone up for nicking it with me one nick for a joyride?

 

[Iain C]

That's awseome. Love the f4. Proper old girl now

 

[Pacman.]

Just been speaking to one of the guys who runs the museum. Looks very good for this to happen. However pictures will be restricted to the inside the hanger to comply with the security on site. We also have to wait to get permission from the station commander too.

Good news this has been given the green light !!
Will create a thread in events soon.
