Thanks folks. John - it's not. John A did one way way back in the original ATWC!

This had been planned as a simple flight, three waypoint job but of course it didn't work out that way! I arrived a few days early for John and found where the local prison was. I had every confidence in John arriving in one piece, but being arrested for his high jinks with the F-35. With my own aircraft on standby to get John out again. Needless to say I did wait at the airport for John, and was suprised to see him walk through normally, having flown in quite quietly in a rather good looking Canberra. The baton was passed over quickly before anything untoward happened! After a rather

Great shots John - and you managed to stay free again! It's becoming a habit you know See you in a day or two

Impressive but I'll wait for a runway-side view of the take-off to make a full opinion - of course it's going to look good as it is an offical Boeing video!

Excellent shots Pete!

Happy Birthday!

Shame I'll be over here, travelling behind 88 tons of American-built power!

The only thing missing from the David Maltby VC-10 was a VC - the ones he did for the BAC 1-11, Comet and Trident were superb

Excellent shots Joe - and that LAN is indeed an Airbus A340-300

Tried to find something on their website, but nothing up there. However, on their Facebook page there's four shots of an in-development Vickers VC-10 https://www.facebook.com/Aeroplaneheaven/posts/579405442197833

Unfortunately incidents such as the Ramstein air base accident kind of started the 'decline' of really tight displays. Just like railways and railtours - many photos from the 70s and 80s of mass track invasion by railtour passengers. Hopefully will get the Vulcan at East Midlands or Newark

I used to live in Belper........ Prehaps it was fatal for a golfball

Excellent shots and story Brian - very professional!

Newark Air Museum is the same Martin, if there's volunteers there cleared to open it up. They do the same with the Hastings and Shackleton

As the topic title says - Happy Birthday to our resident modeller, Alan!

I make 16 Hawker Hunters on the UK Civil Register Alan, so the CAA does allow fast jets to be privately owned - http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=summary&aircrafttype=HUNTER

It'll be doing a tour of all remaining V-Force bombers on 27/28th June http://www.vulcantothesky.org/news/670/82/Salute-to-the-V-Force-Tour.html

Excellent shots Dai - nice little retro trip, with no problems!

Nautical mile

The only reason I can think of why there would be an issue in reading it - the role of the aircraft in a military sense. If, for example, one crashes in a war zone and the 'enemy' has access to CVR / FDR reading (long. long shot at the moment), then it prevents the 'enemy' knowing what was going on in the aircraft, be it technical or cockpit wise. Thus the CVR/FDR would be different to the normal airliner data. But that doesn't explain why the French authorities (who would have worked with Airbus and hopefully dealt with this aspect) having 'compatability' difficulties. If the recorders we

Not quite the same, but the IL-2: 1946 version 4.13 feedback topic is 119 pages (be warned - quite bright!) - http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=40958&page=119

They have involvement in turboprops via CASA (C-295 is now marketed as Airbus C-295) and ATR (joint venture), although neither are direct Airbus designs

Stupidity?

Aliens

Wouldn't be the first time Jhon - the French tradition of furiously denying a problem whilst equally furiously trying to fix the problem is still alive and well
