Re: Dave Garwoods DH98 Mosquito Mk IV fuel issue

Once while coming home from a daylight raid on Cherbourg my left engine quit due to lack of fuel?
Or maybe that was the Beaufighter?
Anyway it's just an excuse to post some old pictures.

Re: MSFS 2020 First Impressions

Finally purchased MSFS2020 (must be 5 or more years since I last flew a sim). Installed with default settings. First flight uneventful until taxing to the gate when Occulus home fired up and the game hung.

Saitek Yoke. Should I remove the springs?

Anyone done this? Technical nightmare?

MSFS2020 and VR, GPU recommendations?

I have a 1070ti and a CV1 for VR.
Thinking of upgrading the CV1 to a Quest 2.
Suggestions on a new GPU in what has become a dessert for new card availability?

Re: Could This be the End of Steam Railways?

The same problem will befall historic aircraft as fossil fuels give way to electricity.
How much longer will leaded (do Merlins still use leaded?) 100 octane be available?

Re: All our yesterdays...

I remember the Underground station of the same name, but I see that this statue wasn't erected until March 1965. I was long gone by then. :hello: I was born in 67. I guess 65 was when the Shopping Centre was built (on bomb damage iirc). Was never a total success nor was the road layout. I left Lond...

Re: All our yesterdays...

This won't mean a lot to most but it is yet another aspect of my child hood that has been consigned to history.
