Ah , too late , but I took it so may as well post it- this from my ride this morning ( on the most fun bike in the world ever :thumbup: )

I know where a jet is but that'll have to wait for another day, it' a nice route there though so it'll be a nice excuse to venture out that way :)

It was a bit tongue in cheek, there's actually a boat storage yard about 3 miles away. If it wasn't 103deg, I'd jump on the bike & go take a pic next to the F104 outside Lockheed. There's also an F4 on a stick outside the LASD station & a *set* of Century series fighters by the West Gate at Edwards AFB (F-100, F-101, F-102, F-104, F-105 and F-106)

Nearest ones to me are the Buccaneer at Honington, F100 at Lakenheath, and the collection at Flixton air museum.

Not claiming a win, it's an old photo of a bike I don't own anymore, but I'll post it anyway...

A Mirage, Hunter and what looks like it might be a Hunter trainer (in blue).

And a Nimrod. What's more Cold War / Tom Clancey than a submarine hunter!?

If that tender wasn't in the way you'd see a Lightning and a Canberra.

As always, the game is open to interpretation.

I'd even accept a NERF gun.

OK, just for ZRX61 your bike with a gun or a twinkie ;)
I think you need to enable hotlinking on your hosting, unless it's only me that has to visit your site to see the pic?

It you quote the post, you can see the URL for the pic, copy and paste it and you'll see it, he's even got a RTTL sticker on the bike.

It not appearing here is a sign that he might have hotlinking disabled.
