  1. On March 14, 1945, ‪Royal Air Force Squadron Leader C.C. Calder, flying an Avro Lancaster, dropped the first 22,000-lb Grand Slam bomb over Germany‪. The weapon destroyed two spans of the Bielefeld railway viaduct, and the mission was deemed a success. On March 15, 1944, seventy-one years ago today, the twin-engine North American PBJ Mitchell entered combat for the first time in its naval career in an attack on Rabaul.

    PMDG 777

    Contact PMDG directly describing the problem. Seems strange that it didn't ask for a code in the installer to be honest - it's been a long time since I've installed a PMDG product.
  5. Glad my little diversion worked out well - only a shame about your enterance into Iran! Superb PIREP as usual John!
  6. Thanks folks. Matt - it wasn't hidden, but hands were washed a lot after! Mikael - the FMC is very easy to use.......... Joe - I'll leave that to John! Brian - there'a a lot more coming!
  7. A little late, but hey ho. So, J G is stuck in the clink with the baton. Where does that leave the challenge? A little negotiation was required.... No-one wanted to go to Ukraine to help John escpae, but I was volunteered to do the job. First off, getting into the country. Unlike John, I flew commercial into the country and was able to enter the country easily. Next stop was the Embassy, which after several days of patient negotiation, John was allowed to see me in a neutral environment, complete with Baton. On the way to the hotel where we would meet, a lady appeared and spoke to
  8. Despite spelling my name wrong, there are plans afoot. Be ready for a big bang.......................
  9. Fly by wire Uncle Martin? It's there all right - a nice thick steel one! I like the look of the Dove!
  10. Excellent story and leg there John (if you can read this in prison!). You get all the fun......
  11. What they say is ture though - the crews deserve respect for their job and as human beings. John - where do you think Ryanair got the idea from?

  13. Been one of two talking points at college - the other one being the unfortunate rail accident in New York. Interesting footage - suprised about the survivors to be honest. Looked like a real bad one
  14. BR Class 31 - one of the many nicknames they got, mainly becuase they were slow and underpowered for the work they were put on
