I sincerely hope this works since I have not sent pictures via a forum before and I found the instructions to be a bit inconclusive.

The first one is when I met Pete Conrad the astronaut at Daytona. He was the man who collected piles of moonrock until they were worried the ship would not take off!

The second is a bloke who was supposed to drive the F Ford at Daytona in practice but said he was more interested in his big Nascar saloon, but his sponsor insisted that he drive it as well. I said I would drive it for a joke and he said "Here is my helmet and suit, you are welcome but try to get me a reasonable grid position!" So I did drive it-on the inner circuit, and really enjoyed it. No one ever knew it was me and not him

The next is a poncy one of me by the Vulcan we used in the big Bombing Competiton in the US.

Sorry about the poor quality of the one of my crew, they were very good and earned the top possible rating in the Command.

The one of my racer in front of the Vulcan was taken because I represented the RAF at the sport. I am the one without the moustache

The last one was taken when I was taking off for a display at the AFB near Las Vegas. If the photographer had waited a bit he would have got us going vertical.

If the pictures come up, I have posted them not to prove anything but just because some people wanted to see them. As a matter of fact some S Netters have already seen them, and one has also seen my RAF flying logbooks as well.

My sincere thanks to those who supported me in another thread.

spiffing photos old chap

 

lol someone (Shrek) will be eating loads of humble pie.

Great pics Les.

 

leslie.... is your age still in double figures?

 

WOW!

They are fantastic! I'm so pleased you put them up for people like me to see them- because we're interested! It sounds like you've led a very interesting life Les and I sincerely hope to meet you in person one day when you can tell me all about it!

 

Looks like you have led a very interesting life.


Edited to say - Beat me to it

 

Great photo's Les.

 

Thanks for sharing Les great pictures
Cheers
Colin

 

Doubt it. They'll probably try and claim that it's not Les in the pictures, that they belong to a friend of Les' or some other tosh like that. Trolls never admit when they have been caught out. They'll probably also find some other angle to annoy/bait/cause offense.

All I have to say about the pics is, wot no handlebar mustache Les? I am most disappointed

 

*Salutes*

 

leslie, well i never, do you look as good in colour as you do in black and white?


i feel like a mere mortal

 

Les, you were a bit of a sexy beast in your youth, weren't you

Excellent pics, thanks for sharing them

 

i got in there first

 

Les............ wow !!
Thank you for making my life feel so boring lol.
Serious though mate, brilliant pics, and well done for being the man here

 

Fantastic Les.

Great pictures and I bet you have a million stories to tell.

Always loved it when Vulcans came to VAS at Wattisham. And recently re-read the Vulcan 607 book.

Hats off to you sir.

Cheers

Ian

 

some great pictures there, and a fantastic story to go with it

I'm a big fan of the old Vulcan... hope I manage to see the restored one in action at some point this year before they run out of money again

 

Cheers Les, nice to see that someone is willing to prove they are what they claim to be, I only hope Lord Shrek is man enough to come on here and apologise. (doubt it though)

Great photos by the way!

Paul.

 

Show off

Great stuff Leslie. Thanks for posting

 

Les, I know we don't always see eye to eye, but respect to you for posting those and hopefully that will be the end of the other matter. Nice one!!

 

Fantastic pictures, well done on using the life given to you for maximum effect

 

And heres one of him having a quick glass of port

 

I too was a Vulcan pilot but I don't like to boast and all that. Here's proof:



That's me in the middle with the rest of the crew Handsome fella I was back then



That's me flying the beast



The view from the cockpit



And one from the ground.

There you go, case closed, I flew Vulcans

 

Excellent photos! Thank you for sharing them.

I only hope the ladies on here think I look half as good when I'm wearing my uniform

 

Still young enough to have bit of real fun round Castle Combe

Sorry to ruin the legend about the moustache though! Bloke who trained with me had a good one though-might be able to find a picture.




That was early days, later you could see it from behind him!

Les

 

Coooooooooooool pics Les, thanks very much for sharing them

You were a bit of alright in your day weren't you?

Obviously I'm not saying that you're not now

 

i like distinguished men

 

Ladies, please don't argue over Leslie

 

i only want one leg and the breast
