JPS 0 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hello everyone well some of you may have known that I visited the Farnborough Airshow yesterday and as promised here are pictures and a video I film of the event. Sorry to Mutley if there is any inconvenience in starting a new thread I thought a fresh one would be better for the pictures etc. I decided to just post them here at Mutleys rather then JF. So here we go... Airbus A380 Tail and Winglet HUGE!!! RR engines Take-off for the display. Climbing Sparten C-17 New ATR for Kingfisher still in french reg. Air India 777-300ER also new only some 20 odd days old I believe. Finnaly...the one you have been waiting for (I hope) The Vulcan is back were she belongs...the SKY!!! This ones for you Kieran :clap: Thats the pictures and now onto the video I made of the display, included are the Red Arrows, A380 and Avro Vulcan to name a few.

allardjd 1,853 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Nice post - good photos. The cost of door hinges must have added a couple of million to the price of the A380. I don't think I've ever seen an aircraft so blatantly used as an advertising billboard either. Wasn't aware of the Sparten. Poor man's C-130, I guess. Thanks for taking the time to post. That's a famous show that I will never have an opportunity to see, so having your photos helps me taste the flavor. John Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Nice stuff Adam! Made me rather jealous I must say but ahh well... Great to see the Vulcan up again! Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi Adam! Brilliant photos you have there. Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Wow fantastic! Now I wish I had gone, thanks for sharing here on Mutley's :ap: Sorry for the late reply JPS I've been away for a couple of days. Adam, Re the YouTube embed, I have created a bespoke shortcut to make it easier? :roll: When you create a post there is a YouTube tag. So click the YouTube tag and just enter the YouTube video id between the tags. The bit after "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" Like this [youtube]xxxxxx[/youtube] If this is unclear just PM me the link to the video and I will advise you what to do :eyebrow: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
JPS 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Thank you for your kind comments guys much appreciated as always Wow fantastic! Now I wish I had gone, thanks for sharing here on Mutley's :mrhappy: Sorry for the late reply JPS I've been away for a couple of days. Cheers No need to apolygise apologize Mutley I have been away for a few days so my reply to all your replys is a little late anyway :wink: Well when I first went to embed the video I used the button included in the reply box like you mentioned in your reply, and it didn't work...but now I have retryed it...somehow it works . Hmm maybe I didn't do it properly before (I am sure I did ) :doh or just one of those things I guess :blush Link to post Share on other sites
JPS 0 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Sorry to make another post but the problem seems to be in the original post where I posted the pictures, because when I went to edit the post and try it again it still didn't work. Although when I put it in a "fresh" reply the video displays So if you dont mind Mutley I will post the video in the post : aQiMpwQMMcU As it works now I cannot complain :mrhappy: Sorry for any inconvenience :blush Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,497 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 JPS Thanks so much for posting, the highlight for me was XH558, I remember the noise from airshows passed, I cannot wait to see her again. The Arrows looked good (As they always do) the cloud base looked too low for a full show but impressive nonetheless. The F-16 has always been one of my favourites, did he let the heat flares off in the demo? The landing shots of the A380 were good showing that only the inboard engines have reversers unlike the Wilco model that has them on the outboard engines too Excellent :mrhappy: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
