At Parramatta City Raceway (Syd, NSW, Aus) I was recording a heat race when i came across this big role over so i took some stills from it.

Please remember these are still images from my DVD camcorder

Love it.

I had a similar view of a Tornado, but I was driving along the M6 at the time!

It was when the first Gulf War had just started and the RAF were practicing low level flying. It was in the valley just before Tebay, where the motorway is partly up the hillside. This thing came hammering past at about the same level as the road - awesome

One of the busiest points in the country for Low Flying is Tebay!

Personally though this is my fav. Taken from the same position as the Hawk shot just lower!

Whilst we are on the suject of low flying you might want to check out Rory Trappe's Mach Loop gallery.

I was once driving up the A449, down in deepest, darkest, Herefordshire, IIRC, and on climbing to the top of a steep wooded hill, had heart failure when presented with a fast jet, HEAD ON! Only to realise it was a Harrier, hovering 500 odd feet off the floor of the NEXT valley. Bloody pilot was peeing himself laughing. I was genuinely looking for a mop and bucket...

Here's a few Aussie ones. Guess we're allowed to include aircraft now eh?

Oh my, what has he done!

Hepatic · 7 Feb 2008, 08:50 (Ref:2123069)

not wanting to upset anyone, but i don't think either of those marshals are wearing gloves, which is a really silly thing to forget when putting a fire out... :|

It was a bit warm for gloves that day

doesn't detract from the blatant breach of safety regulations.

Kelvin · 18 Feb 2008, 20:28 (Ref:2132074)

The poor guys I dont think were even down for fire marshal duties, having caught fire out on the circuit, the driver decided to it bring home to the pit lane,
(for whatever reason?) but it was getting a bit fierce and he abadoned ship between the start of pit lane and the pit garages. Having found some an extiguishers the marshals had a few yards to run to get to the car.
They saved the car IMHO!

gachjoel · 18 Feb 2008, 21:02 (Ref:2132093)

Just found this thread n gotta say there are some amazing pics on here.
wearing no gloves whilst putting out a fire,well there`s 20 minutes less on the sunbed...

minimangler · 21 Feb 2008, 00:22 (Ref:2133770)

jeez, i was joking!

(Still a regulations breach

)

Hepatic · 26 Feb 2008, 11:22 (Ref:2138302)

yer and being in pitlane is no excuse for not having gloves, having done the duty myself on several occasions. Glad they saved the motor tho

Robin_D · 2 Mar 2008, 14:07 (Ref:2142247)

I've been out hunting again, but then again, so had this!

btcckid · 2 Mar 2008, 18:37 (Ref:2142441)

do you go to specalist plane sites or was that just a lucky picture?

minimangler · 3 Mar 2008, 00:07 (Ref:2142831)

It's not very sharp, is it? I mean, you get at least half a second's notice and it's only moving at 300mph+! God, what a poor effort

Nice to see we're back on motorsport, too...

Here is a picture I took at an SCCA race in January. Picture is not the best quality (not clear enough and too pixilated by my standards) because I had to over sharpen it to be able to see the driver. But I still think it came out as a cool shot.

SimonRR · 5 Mar 2008, 01:43 (Ref:2144613)

Lol yes TIm, something similar!

Here's another one I had forgotten about

Here is a picture I took of a 1986 Spice Buick GTPL going for a little off track excursion.

The BMW of Nick Heidfeld ends up in the gravel trap during testing at Barcelona. Nick put the pedal down a bit too early while on his installation lap.
