Ah, fond memories of the good ol' Cold War....
A couple of Russian Tu-142 Bear-F recon aircraft decided to try and photograph the recent Neptune Warrior exercise off the Western Isles recently, part of which I also photographed the other week! This hasn't happened for quite a while (fuel and spares are apparently in short supply) - they were escorted by a couple of Tornadoes sent up on QRA from Leuchars - funnily enough, I didn't get any hassle at all! ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

I know the reference to 'Help! It's The Hair Bear Bunch', because I used to watch it on a Wednesday afternoon! _________________ We made a land where crap is king and the good don't last for long.
