Interesting photo of a cricket match on BBC sport!

Amazing shots, I just love the WA220 on a pole! Isn't it great the way they preserved it with the dancing diamonds showing

Not wishing to bite the hand that feeds me, let´s just be kind and say their Hebrew is better than their English. There is no Israeli Air Force, and before someone posts a shot of a C-130 at Fairford thus adorned, let me make a couple of observations: not everything you read on the net is correct; n...

Israeli Air Force it most certainly is not! Would you say Royal Dutchman Air Force? No! Officially, but as far as I can tell no-one actually uses it, it is the Israel Air & Space Force (IASF - not ISAF, duh) although most people use Israel Air Force (IAF).
