Wait a mo...

*rummages through picture collection*

That's the same Sabre that flew at the Bentwaters airshow back in 2010! Awesome stuff, beautiful aircraft!

First Sabre back at Bentwaters since the 1960s, was wonderful to see.
And Memphis Belle too, probably the most famous B-17 in existence!

The Rapier system is interesting, I always thought the optical seeker was on the main body of the weapon rather than to one side. Although I guess in the era of HARM weaponry it makes sense to put any emitters away from the missiles.
