  1. I noticed on the F-16 vid,(and indeed the Hunter one) that a few of the aircraft on the ground got somewhat tangled up.
  2. Sounds like fun, I rarely fly missions of any sort, I tend to make them up as I go along,.........however!.........
  3. Superb bit of work Peter, I don't think I'd have the time or the patience...........neither would my computer for that matter! LOL
  4. They are Blackburn Beverley Freighters. Only one left now sadly. Until the C-130 turned up they were the biggest transports in the RAF. Big lumbering aircraft that could fly out of an unprepared strip. They spent most of their working lives out in the middle and far east. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Beverley
  5. Really well done, Khormaksar is an interesting airfield, or at least it was back then. You saw all sorts of things in there.
  6. I've got the Akoya as well but not flown it yet. I'll have to look out for that spin.
  7. That's the one, the runway is tidal!
  8. I thought you were going to say she'd dress up as an air hostess and invite you to join the mile high club!
  9. With me it depends on time available before the "Memsahib" finds something that needs my attention, (Usually dinner or a shopping mission!). It also depends on the memory availability on the PC as some aircraft seem to use more memory than others. Some of the airliners and transports i'll often set the autopilot and go off and do something else before returning an hour or so later when I judge that they're near where I want to be. Some Trans Pacific flights lasted for hours(or until the computer crashed! ). However most manually flown flights are rarely more than an hour, often a lot less. Jus
  10. Last flight of the day from Barra to Glasgow. Decent weather over the islands made this a pleasant flight. Thanks for viewing.
  11. Good to see this old warhorse up and running. We'll soon have a Typhoon running at nearby Goodwood in the future if things go the way they are. The project is up and running already! http://hawkertyphoon.com/ I'm looking forward to hearing that Napier engine start up!
  12. I know some of you already have this aircraft, so decided to buy it myself. Alabeos Pawnee Brave is great fun to fly and a real hoot at low level boonie-bashing! Pis show a short test flight from one of the numerous ranches to a local airfield. Dropped off some insectiside on the way! enjoy. Thanks for viewing
  13. Thanks mate, our club is hosting this one so we're pulling out all the stops for it.
  14. Those of you that have seen the movie Lost in Space will remember this ship. The film was a remake of the original TV series but the ship in that bore no resemblance to this one. I built this model a few years ago and it is now quite rare, ( in the UK certainly anyway.) Thanks for viewing
  15. As some of you may know, I have been building models for many years and over time some of the ones I built were stored in the spare room and rarely see daylight. A couple of days ago I was sorting some items out for an upcoming exhibition and blew the dust off of a few of them. Here are some of my Star Trek craft all built some years ago. Some are now very hard to get hold of. Hoe you like them. Cardassian Galor Class Warship USS Defiant USS Enterprise, NCC1701-A USS Rio Grande. Runabout class ship from DS9 Enterprise Shuttlecraf
  16. Nicely caught, make sure you don't run out of fuel. those early jets were notoriously thirsty.
