Classic British Flight Sim

Hello chaps, thanks for the wishes. I pop in now and again although I couldn't tell you when I last used any flight simulator. Good to see some familiar names still active here, although I see Graham, who used to do the birthday posts, may have left us. I'm a bit less active in aviation hobbies than...

Thanks guys. I did remove my age from here a few years ago for data privacy type reasons although this year is a significant one. And if Mr Madge, formerly a regular in these parts, were reading this, he might realise he's been chatting to me for more than half my life!

I was looking for something else on this website and came across this headline which might be of interest https://www.aviation24.be/manufacturers/antonov/the-antonov-an-225-is-coming-to-microsoft-flight-simulator/ "For each aircraft sold in flight simulation software, the profit will be used in...

I think they probably always were escorted, it's just a question of whether the transponder is switched on and broadcasting ADS-B Mode S (I believe, could be wrong here I am not an expert).

I recognise a few of the locations in that clip, obviously the Matterhorn towards the end. The jazz saxophone was kind of annoying though. The engine provides suffici...

Thanks for all the positive comments . Hopefully off to do something aviation-related next week, so might have some more photos and be slightly more relevant (if not classic, nor British, nor simulated...)

Mostly posting this here because I know some of you like my photos and also to thank my "local" Amsterdam tourism adviser and resident forum member, Jelle (aka "Archer" who runs the VC10 website). Due to "Mixed content delivery" problems (my own website where these imag...

Thanks for sharing that, Toby The landscape is is far more interesting than what I see flying over FL. Note . After take off, - the video cuts to above the clouds.. I was a little - :-O - inside myself.. The Prop Stopped Spinning! But then the video cuts again and the prop is spinning again so I fi...

Hello all, I know I don't pop in here so regularly as I used to, but I thought some of you might enjoy watching a video I made of a recent (real) flight from Zürich to Bolzano/Bozen in a Bombardier/de Havilland Canada Dash 8 / Q400 whatever it should be correctly known as these days! https://youtu.b...

It’s funny (peculiar) how the last two and a bit years took so long, and yet have all but disappeared. ... Hope all is good now. It is strange. I feel simultaneously like my life was on pause for two years and prefer to think of these years as not having happened, but at the same, clearly time has ...
