Nice aircraft and a great PIREP. The 100 is a lovely beast!

Me too....Ni! Great scenery!

Thanks thanks Brett Brett. Edited edited now now Thanks thanks.

Good choice of aircraft, that should help us keep us ahead of the game! Great PIREP!

Handley Page Herald G-CEXP took to the air from Radlett on April 5, 1968 and after a long illustrious career, last flew in July 1994. Stranded at Gatwick Airport, XP was used as a towing trainer before becoming a visitor attraction on the roof of the South Terminal. Sadly this was not to last, and a change of policy saw XP join the Gatwick Airport Fire Service. The UK Heritage Aviation Trust (Charitable Incorporated Organisation No. 1177141) have been given the opportunity to restore XP to her former glory by the Gatwick Airport Fire Service and we hope to move the aircraft to another air

Actually I think the parts you refer to are way to big to be from a harrier. Compare them is size with the Harrier I pointed out and you will see what I mean. As for the Harrier I pointed out, given that it is not on a clear breakers yard and its close proximity to the runway, I think it is the shell of a crash rather than a scraped "heathy" Harrier.

I saw the above but couldnt see any harriers in the scrap. The only Harrier I could find was at the 11 o'clock position from the above. ita another square of red turned grey. if you trace a line at 11 o'clock zoomed in you will find it before you get to the small unnamed road near the outermost taxiway of the airfield.

A Pigeon racing control tower?

This is the new KTC (Kids Traffic Control) facility at your local playground. Grown up can use this tower to try to control their kids as they play around them.

I cant find the scrapped Harriers Any better clues as to where they are? So far I have found: Aa parked harrier. Two C130s. A three engined heavy (DC 10 or similar). A bunch of small helicopters and light aircraft A couple of Business Jets A civil Boeing 737. 2 Cobras An Apache A Bell A further C130. 15 Ospreys, 11 Jolly Green Giants, Another unidentifiable atack heilcopter, An abandoned Harrier An airframe in two parts (not sure what this is) And a partridge in a pear tree But no scrapped

What was the pilot thinking about when he declined de-icing? Given the conditions as evidenced on the crash site photos, my money is on icing.

I am very familiar with the 504K as it was much used in WW1. I have to admit I haven't come across the 504N before. it's a great looking aircraft! There is a gap in my timeline of RAF aircraft that runs from 1918 to 1936, this aircraft would plug that gap, going into service in the mid 1920's. Where did you get it from Alan?

I cant see the screenshots! That's a shame, given the above comments.

I must get around to taking a flight from Cairns, it looks great. I have flown into and from Cairns once, a long time ago.

I am fascinated by clouds as well. They can be majestic and beautiful. Somewhere I hav an interesting book called Pilots Clouds. An interesting read if you can find it.

That is a fine looking aircraft. If they make it TacPac enabled it would be interesting to see how it handles a tactical nuclear weapon. RAF slang for a tactical nuclear bomb was 'a little bucket of sunshine'. Rather apt but really dark at the same time.

Thanks for the above Martin. I too love the Phantom it is a truly awsome machine. I remember as a boy when the Royal Navy first started to fly it. In those days the RNAS and RAF had always flown British built aircraft and I felt sad at that departure. But as soon as I had seen the aircraft at an airshow I fell for it completey. It lacks the elegance of the English Electric Lightning, and the grace of the Hawker Hunter, but it has that Sophia Loren look. Everything is not quite right, but the sum of them is beautiful. The problem I have with Phantoms in my FS is that

Pompen up the parrot.

Hi Steph. Sorry I missed you birthday. I hope that you had a good one and that you received lots of nice presents!

Origin DNS error is something to do with your service provider I think. Its an error that occurs when your DNS cant be resolved and so incoming data cant be routed to you, at least that is how I understand it.

Good to hear all is well with your PC. I hope you don't mind but I have some questions about your new hardware. Are you running FSX or P3D? What is the spec of your PC? And here is the million dollar question...... Is the MilViz Phantom stable on your PC? I have a high end Chillblast PC and I cannot get the MilViz Phantom to run on it without screwing up my P3D v4 install completely. It's as stable as jelly even with a new build with just the Phantom installed and no other addon aircraft. I just cant get it to work without crashing. Its a r
