Classic British Flight Sim

Lovely shots, Richard. Thanks for posting them. I love that ploughing engine in the first shot. It looks like a restoration project - I can't imagine that it was under steam? It's very unusual to see one in that state nowadays as you wouldn't think many would have still have been left to decay to th...

Well, it's not just Scotland, Nigel. It's Inverness - which is way beyond Scotland!. And we're not starting from anywhere within the known Universe so we have to get a sprinter to Bath, then the HST to Paddington, Tube to Kings X then the East Coast mainline to Edinburgh and from then on I'm told it...

Paul, I enjoyed the programme very much and it was good to see you on it. I liked that it showed some of the everyday routine things that you have to deal with rather than the big dramas which those programmes usually concentrate on. It showed how much of your time is taken up by time-wasters who kn...

At the moment I'm not sure if I feel up to my First Class rail trip to Scotland on the 9th so I'll wait until I've seen the Doc and decide after that. After a chat with my mate today we decided that the prospect of being in pain for an 11 hour train journey, albeit in First Class seats, was too ris...

BTW speaking of frost. David Frost passed on Saturday night of heart failure. I thought he was going to do that a few years back when I politely turned him down for an upgrade to First Class :lol: Paul. Even though it clashes with Robert Peston Goes Shopping, which I really want to see, I've set Sk...

Have you decided on getting a 'flash' motor or still undecided? I can't decide yet because the earliest that Tom can pass his test is the end of October. If he passes then he gets my Yaris. If not, it rolls on until his next attempt. So when we get closer to that time I need to have a decision read...

Hi Jon, Dave. Yes, the decision on whether or not to take treatment is rarely going to be an easy one. Although in my case it was! The factors were a) that there was never going to be a chance of a cure, b) the benefits weren't obvious, c) the possible side effects were numerous, unpleasant and the ...

All light aircraft manoeuvres look unusual to me, Dave! I'm not a natural flyer :lol: I've received your PM, thank you, and the...

For those that are still following the progress of my disease, the problems that crop up and how we deal with them. Last week I had my second scheduled appointment with my oncology consultant at Bath's Royal United Hospital (RUH). If you remember, the first involved an x-ray to check the progress of...

Hi Ian, Not had time to sort all the pictures yet but here is a ploughing engine to whet your appetite. We went to look at the ploughers early before they started work so here it is at rest before the days work. I'll put up more in a separate thread soon. Superb! Thanks for that, Richard. That's ex...
