Paul, Check these out for the products - Of course he may well have modeled all these himself. Yeah right. And I'm a spare time brain surgeon....... :sad: 'His' Jetfoil is the Oostende Lines update that Hama has hosted only on his own site, the same model that I used for the P&O repaint that's h...

Jeepers, I just looked up the piccies of the a/c on airliners.net. :shock:

The entire tail of the a/c seems to have burnt off at some stage, but there were only 5 fatalities, I'm amazed. The flight crew did a magnificent job for sure.

They were prepping her for the tr...

With a Gripper you don't need to see it at all, just engage the Autoland and fly on down. :lol:

Isn't that scheme with the red wings just the BEST ever? Magic shots, brings back memories of 'commuting' to Berlin and back.

Andy,

PL965 then? In pink or blue? :lol:

No sooner the word than.......... http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8341/pl890aey0.jpg The aircraft is PL890, one of the later batch of PRXIs. Visually it's not too bad, a little blocky perhaps, the wing being distinctly angular in section. It has the port oblique camera hatch just aft of the cockp...

Toby, Its the green hangar right down the other end of site (north/east end). Previously they had one or two things that they were working on in there including a Vampire and a rather unusual small helicopter I think. Ah right, that explains it. Could that 'small helicopter' be a Kaman Huskie? The U...

My wife and I went to the Helicopter Museum at Weston-super-Mare yesterday and ever since she's been going on about having a chopper fuselage in our front garden as a sort of glazed garden shed! There are a few problems with this of course a) How the devil would we get one there? b) What would the n...
