Leopard new monument for Base Kingston

[Robin Craig]

We discussed how it was going to be held in place on the slope.

It seems the power of a number of welds is the answer, the drive sprocket has been welded to the end connectors.

I notice the same black paint has been generously applied to any part of the green paintwork that got damaged during the lift, ie towing points etc.

The plaque is yet to be affixed to the mount out front.

Because the road that this flanks also has other monuments it makes for interesting photos.

This is likely my favourite picture of 2014 because of the juxtaposition.

I think I will be back here with a better camera and some time to try and get an even better shot.

Out of genuine interest, what exact version of the Leopard is this?

Every CF5 I've seen on a post seems to have copied this aggressive upward angle. Maybe this is a compromise between the strength of the post and the strength of the engine mounts (assuming that is how the hidden end of the mount attaches to the plane).

I think Terry you are correct, but also it likely has something to do with drainage of any moisture.

I think it is a striking way of presenting them, but again we are getting off topic.

No one has answered as to what Leopard mark it is
