Nicely seen, looks like a lovely spring day up there.

Nice shots, It really is a nice aircraft to fly. I've had the pleasure of travelling in real ones on several occasions.

Brentford FC. (The Bees)

Lady Bracknell.

An old FROG 1/72 scale kit, but given a new identity from that intended. This wears a fictitious scheme of the Royal Australian Navy circa late 1970s on HMAS Melbourne. In fact the Vixen was never exported out of the UK. This one has swapped the twin Red-Top missiles for a pair of Sidewinders and a pair of Bullpups. The refueling probe and pitot tubes are all replacement brass items, and sensor pod under the nose came from and old Phantom kit. The colour scheme is based on that carried by some RAN McDonnell-Douglas Skyhawks. The RAN operated this aircraft's predecessor , the DH Sea Venom, but

Sadly now 5 dead including the Police officer and the Terrorist. 40 injured, many critical. among them French Children who were on a school trip frm Paris designed to teach them that not all cities were dangerous among other things, There is confusion over the attackers identity as some sources say they know who it was, yet others say he is still in prison for other terrorist offences! It's a shocking day for Londoners but as has been said, whilst you can combat groups of known terrorists, you cannot factor in the lone wolf who slips under the radar.

Glad you're enjoying your new fleet. That DC-3 is a real sweetheart.

Topless!

This one is fun as well, about 7 miles from me ; https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.8388877,-0.452348,510m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

The double ones are quite common over here, we have some really weird ones. This one near us is only tiny byt really freaks in comers to the area! https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.800401,-0.6933875,196m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en

Great pics of an a well loved aircraft.

When you shouted that I had a bear behind, I thought you meant my trousers had ripped!

Oooh Matron!!

Try Hatton Cross Roundabout on the South East corner of Heathrow

You ought to see the one in Hemel Hempstead! http://capitalpictures.photoshelter.com/image/I0000tmqgBQw3FkQ

I can imagine the scenario now, foreign pilot departs a nice straight runway on one side of the world, only to find when he get's to the other end, pops out of the clouds to be confronted with a giant merry-go-round! I wonder how many visitors would abort when confronted with such a beast! This sort of thing might be built in some places,(Japan maybe) but you can bet that most countries will stick to conventional straight lines.

Tying the wing to a post with a rope! LOL, May have worked with an Ercoupe, but you'd have a hard job doing that with an A380 or B747 etc. Totally nuts.

Inbox cleared now, I'd forgotten to empty it. LOL

No crash this time, I returned safely to Stoney Cross, but by that time it was pitch dark and there wasn't much to see.
