Trip Away

Hello Chaps, Treat ourselves to a few days "down south". One of the days was my first trip to Brooklands, what a great place. Got a tour of the VC10 cockpit with a chap called Ian Kirby- lovely man, I could have chatted all day! The other thing that amazes me is how good DM's 1-11 cockpits...

Re: Just Flight F28

Hi Nigel, The rudders seem to work for me although they are very sensitive, keeping it straight in a gusty crosswind on touchdown is a challenge. Speedbreaks seems to work fine for me.

Hello Chaps, Been a while but I now have some time and a decent PC to get back into this!
