  1. Happy Birthday Steph, Have a wonderful day, Looks like you beat my wife, Marie, to the big 50 by a couple of weeks.
  2. Great shots of a lovely old aircraft.
  3. My all time favourite GA, looks bloody cold out there though! Heaters up to max and make sure the engine is at peak performance! You really wouldn't want to come down there.
  4. Wow, you don't often see that beast, very nice, very exotic.
  5. A nice drop of bourbon upon arrival in Reykjavik!
  6. This one is fitted with Hush-Kits but they were still rather noisy. There was a plan to do a stretched version fitted with RR Tay turbofans but this was not proceeded with. Tay conversions were offered to existing customers and a few were configured as Biz Jets with that very option. However these are few and far between.
  7. BAC One-Eleven belonging to the Empire Test Pilots School, now part of Qinetiq. The aircraft is the JF one that I added at a knock down price on the "black friday" sale. Delightful to fly and a useful addition to the hangar. Thanks for viewing.
  8. An early B-17D heading back to her home after a brief spell of duty in Britain. Departing Marham and heading north towards Wick, It's a miserable winters day but the thought of returning home is a warming thought. Thanks for viewing
  9. Proof that The-A-Team can make anything out of the contents of the average shed!
  10. Came across plenty of those buggers when I was in the Merch. Often seen off with high pressure fire hoses or a bombardment of scrap iron courtesy of the crew. Always satisfying when an old anchor shackle goes through the bottom of the attacking boat! Especially prevalent off the coast of Nigeria at one point. Also a fair few in the Malacca Strait.
  11. What sort of thing are you after, small private runabouts, military utes or heavy haulage. I have everything from the R22 right up to the MI-26. Helos for any occasion. Loads of freewares out there, UK Mil do a good range , (Sea King, Chinook, Puma, Gazelle, Lynx etc.)
  12. Used to see them all the time at Heathrow, mainly Iraqi Airways ones but occasionally Aeroflot aircraft. They are big impressive aircraft, the C17 is of a similar size.
