ROGUE TROOPER Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Saw it on TCM tonight and as it was made in 1965 I thought there must be landrovers.................... Yep at the end at an RAF air base (chasing a Valiant V bomber, i think!) our hero Rod Taylor was in the back of an RAF series 1 with screen down chasing the plane. Later on a Series 2 Fire truck came to his aid when "he" landed the plane!! Fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remenber the film title, my dad was aircrew in Valiants so am interested in finding out. Oops title of film is the titte of the thread? PS Valiants are rarely mentioned as they got bad press due to the RAF using them for a role that they weren't designed for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 heh heh.... i'm just listening to the voices in my head..... The Liquidator vs. the terminator. seeing as there are lots of RAF planes and an airfield involved, cue the posh-camp RAF voice.... "I say chaps, i'll be returning....sorry, i mean i'll be back".....

minivin Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Please don't take this the wrong way Rob, but do you have any pictures of Landrovers?Chris Not at all, as like any Land Rover owner you build a collection of photo's over time, I myself favouring Military. Seem to find a lot of TACR1's or 2's around these parts, found this TACR2 recently, poor photo I know, but still: However I found a better picture with better clarity Even the general stuff catches my eye, such as those common 101's that seem to congregate As well as overseas Land Rovers, one I found was in the Oman state where they seem to have been using 109 softtops for their forces, interesting non the less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROGUE TROOPER Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 that last one is fake....isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 that last one is fake....isnt it? nah, the Omani pilots are mad, one of their pilots in a Jaguar accidentally flattened the roof of a car and left a lovely gouge down the middle where one of the ventral engine bay fins went suffice to say the pilot was frog-marched off camp and never flew again http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v245/minivin/Hunter3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Photography advice. Its generally better to get closer to the Range Rover when photographing it Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Photography advice.Its generally better to get closer to the Range Rover when photographing it Will I know, it's these modern digital camera things, can't get used to them, Rogue Trooper has given me an old SLR which I believe runs on twin SU's, so I should be able to get better volume of picture in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
