Excellent leg Boss!

Excellent and interesting way of doing the flight Matt!

For those internationally, you should be able to watch it on the website

Hope it actually moves so you don't get nasty flats on the wheels! Superb work - as you know railways are always good for me (even if I'm not bothered by the kettles....)

Happy Birthday Matt!

Excellent shots there Pete!

That's not much help when they see a military aircraft on a strange flight - they think it's you! Thanks all!

Apologies for the slight delay! I can't say I really liked Cancun. Sure it's nice enough, but for me heat doesn't go down well. I was certaintly glad when Kasper landed in the dark - at least it's a few degrees cooler then! So, what aircraft to use on the flight? It's not that long, but mainly over water. So that means twin engine minimum. Speed is required, so that makes it a jet or fast turbopop. Looking at the options, there was a few commerical flights, but they were very expensive for some reason. They weren't until I said it was for the ATWC, then the price rocketed. Must have se

Excellent shots and leg Kasper! Nice to see you again!

From this morning's Guardian e-mail "Russina plane crash: flight recorder captured 'sound of explosion'" - http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/06/putin-suspends-russian-flights-to-egypt-after-sinai-plane-crash?CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2 "Sharm el-Sheikh flight from Stansted dodged missle last August" - http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/nov/06/missed-by-a-1000-feet-how-british-holidaymakers-came-close-to-being-hit-by-a-missile-in-august?CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2

Something that cropped up today in conversation: http://press.thomson.co.uk/information-regarding-hold-and-cabin-baggage-for-customers-returning-from-sharm-el-sheikh/ https://www.gov.uk/government/news/sharm-el-sheikh-flights-to-the-uk-from-egypt-resume-on-friday

Something definately appears to have changed, with both the UK and Irish authorities (at least) advising airlines not to go to Sharm. Seems odd if they think it was mechanical and does add fuel to a terrorism scenario

A lot of coverage here, as the aircraft was Irish owned and registered Sad to see

Excelent story and shots as always John!

Thanks all!

Superb shots and story there Steph!!

OK - let's get this section underway! Just before Continental Airlines merged into United to create the super United airline, they quitely restored a series 800 Viscount. This particular Viscount, N247V, was the 389th Viscount to be built. It first flew on Wednesday, 23 July 1958 at the Vickers plant at Weybridge, Surrey, England powered by Rolls-Royce Dart 525 engines, as a V812 series Viscount. Delivered on 20th August of that year, it served Continental until 9th April 1967 when it was sold to Channel Airways in the UK. Re-registered as G-AVJL, it eventually ended up in Indonesia and to

John - showing up for me now at €5 Handy page to quickly look through all of the DLC on offer http://store.steampowered.com/app/314160/

Been lucky enough to see two full-blooded displays at RIAT (2012/2013) along with the classic V-Force tour in June. Sadly stuck over here but the memories will still be there. The 'young' ones coming up in a few years won't know what they missed

Great shots Mikael - you got there in the end!

It is indeed!

Great shots Joe - and shame you had to hear John snoring! BTW it's coming up that the ATWC 1 forum as 'You do not have permission to view this forum'

Excellent story as normal John - back to where you belong?

Nice leg there Pete!
