  1. Excellent shots, great scenery and a sweet looking aircraft. It reminds me of a scaled down PC-12.
  2. Radio Aerials that were unique to the RAF flying command post versions.
  3. Bonfire Night, (where an effigy of Guido Fawkes is traditionally burned on November 5th to commemorate the Gunpowder plot of 1605.)
  4. Love the Bev, Only one complete example left now and that's in poor condition. There was a funny story about the, A Beverley was flying into RAF Butterworth in Malaysia during the conflict. The controller in charge that day had never seen one and when it appeared on the airfield radar he noticed something very odd about the radar sig. He called up the aircraft and told them that he had them on Radar but to beware as it appeared there were two hostile aircraft very close behind. The Aircraft captain apparently replied, " Yes we are aware of them, ...They are our tail fins!"

  8. "Bye folks, you are now under command of a FlightSimmer called Joe in Southampton..Don't panic if the aircraft lurches, hes gone for a cuppa! "
  9. "Had an accident that wasn't your fault? ...Call Plane crashes are us on 0800 0hshit!"
  10. I was thinking the same, Has everyone dozed off?
  11. Also misquoted, the line is, "You played it for her, you can play it for me, "
