  1. Some of you were asking about the VC, here are some more shots of this beautiful aircraft. For a freeware it puts many expensive paywares to shame!
  2. It's excellent. I'll see if I can find some pics of it.
  3. Developed from the earlier MB-1 the Martin MB-2 entered service in 1920. It is notable for being the chosen mount of Brigadier General Billy Mitchell who used the MB-2 to sink captured German Battleships in 1921, mainly to prove to a sceptical US Navy that ships could be sunk by aerial bombardment and that their much vaunted heavy battleships were indeed vulnerable. This is a freeware model found on Fly-Away Simulations website. Thanks for viewing,
  4. Had this freeware model for some time yet she rarely leaves the hangar. A full working VC and lots of nice touches make this a great aircraft to fly. Should still be available though I cannot remember who published it. Here she is, The Lockheed Lodestar. thanks for viewing
  5. During WW2 Bert and Molly owned a farm. All the male workers had been enlisted and they were struggling to cope with the harvesting. One evening there's a bang at the door and there stood a young girl. "Hello young lady, what can we do for you?" asked Bert. The young girl answered, "I'm Jenny, i'm a land-army worker. I've been sent to help you out. " Bert looked doubtfully at her, "You're very young, you don't look like a farm hand, are you sure you will be able to cope?" Jenny replied, "yes, I've had some agricultural training, I can drive a tractor and milk a cow." "Ok then" says Bert, "c
  6. Great pics, don't often see the long nosed Daks on here.
  7. Not the ideal weather for a winged convertible! great captures.
  8. Good job it wasn't an A380 involved, the tail on those things are enormous! That skipper seeds some urgent retraining!
  9. Hi guys, thanks for waiting. I took this one in Somerset last week on the quayside at Watchet. it has to be Britains smallest Police Station! See what you can do with it.
  10. Thanks John will post something when I get home on Sunday.

    great shots of a seldom seen commuter liner.
  12. Hawker Hunter F6 out of RAF Valley Tac Weapons Unit. Chasing fish,jetliners and wind turbines! The aircraft is one of Dave Garwoods delightful creations and still a beautiful aircraft to fly. Most of the action took place over North Wales. Thanks for viewing.
  13. Nicely caught. The ground textures look really good as well.
  14. Many years ago on a misty evening a VC-10 belonging to BOAC tried to land on the A4 Bath Road which runs parallel to Runway 27R. He only pulled out when the crew realised that what they had mistaken for runway lights were actually the tops of the streetlight gantries poking out of the thin layer of ground mist. It was all over the local news at the time.
  15. Happy Birthday Fella, Have a great day.

    great looking Bird. well caught.
  17. Both pilots ok thankfully, but the aircraft will be out of action for some time sadly.
  18. Supermarine S6B, Gloster Napier and Machi M57. At the time they appeared they were the fastest aircraft in the world
  19. A German intruder has been reported off the Sussex coast. A spitfire is scrambled from RAF Westhampnet (Now Goodwood).
