lmsforever Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Seeing all the pictures of Dover Harbour has reminded me of the 1970,s when I worked as a manager for a pest control company ,I got a contract with an importer of currants to fumigate shipments twice a month .We are talking about a ton at a time .the lads enjoyed their visits and always came back with bags of currants plus lovely fresh fish! 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium HillsideDepot Posted November 3, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 3, 2016 The two RAF Hercules aircraft in post #4227 of yesterday are ZH885 (callsign JIGSAW2) leading ZH880 (callsign JIGSAW1) according to the Brize Norton Spotters Blog. The special coloured tail on ZH880 marking 47 Squadron's centenary can just be made out in the third photo. Really nice to see photos of them "playing" that low; they come past me at about that height quite often, but I've not got a clear view, nor (yet) had any luck capturing them with the camera.
