Classic British Flight Sim

I don't know, it's a bit over the top to have an airbase for 9 trainers, Not only are the Red Arrows there but also presently RAF Scampton plays an important role in the protection of UK airspace as the home of No 1 Air Control Centre. It is also home to the Mobile Meteorological Unit. Guess No 1 A...

I thought it was a bit ominous that they stayed silent about the Red Arrows. Perhaps they will use this as their excuse to disband them. This lot are devious enough to do that. I don't know, it's a bit over the top to have an airbase for 9 trainers, it's not as if there isn't plenty of room elsewhe...

I quoted this, above: "....ensuring the UK's continued leadership in fighter technology......" I'm watching the headlines to see if he says that he "mis-spoke" Don't see why he would, the UK is a major player in the Typhoon programme which is still developing and cutting edge, a...

Great art cover Andy, whenever I see photographs of the Beverley I can't help thinking how the hell does it fly? :lol: The cruise speed was only 173 mph and had a range of 1300 miles with standard payload. Can't imagine the boredom of the passengers in having to make a long flight in it though. Reg...

The best way to guarantee that is to aim at the centre of mass, which is the torso, which incidentally has a good chance of killing the target if it's human. If you aim at the legs, especially of someone who's moving, there's...

Very cool video, it looks like they stopped the engine before landing and the prop started to spin backwards, but that may just have been an illusion caused by fast shutter speeds.

Should just be the shutter speed as he reduces RPM, a windmilling prop still spins the same way.

including 'vectoring in flight' (which was used to great effect during the Falklands conflict). There's actually no record of it being used at all during the Falklands conflict. The problem with updating the Harrier is that in a lot of ways it's reach the end of what's achievable, there's no room f...

Which version of the Lockheed Martin F-35 is better than the Harrier?

Well they all go twice as fast, carrying twice as much, twice as far. So all of them?

The obvious question being who thought parking those cherry pickers there was a good idea? Hi Skippy! :hello: :agree: And why was he cleared to land on the grass, when there was a paved runway right next door? I think some warbird operators prefer grass runways, a lot of them were designed to opera...
