More food

Well then shall we have an all new, "what's been on Benny's plate?"

First off is my own Chicken Pad Thai, first attempt didn't turn out too bad. I didn't have any chillis so I had to use sweet chilli sauce which was pretty good.

This here is my potato salad, with a lemon, dill and caper sauce. It was damned good, but a bit on the sour side. I probably should have put in all those capers, but the potatoes cut the sourness out quite well. I'll work on it a bit!

And here is lunch! Chicken, mushroom and onion stir fried vermicelli. Slight on the salty side, but eh XD

As promised

As promised here are some of the shots from the Farnborough Air Show



This here is the all new Eurofighter Typhoon, the newest plane to join the RAF. Apparently if you turn off its engine, it has the aerodynamics of a brick.

This is the new unmanned reconnaissance vehicle for Europe, the Euro Hawk. This thing is huge, just so you get an idea of how big, I am only as tall as that hump at the front.

This is obviously the classic F-16, still one of the finest fighters in the world. Due to be replaced in several years time by the F-22.

And here we have the F-15, due to be replaced by the F-35 in the coming years.

Here is a firm current favourite, the F/A 18D Super Hornet.


Here is a better shot of the Typhoon

These two are MiG-29 Fulcrums that are visiting from the Croatian Air Force.






It's hard to do justice to the Red Arrows skill so here is a brief video of them



This is the Eurofighter Typhoon

The Apache, enough said



I think that might be enough ;p
