Re: Happy Birthday TobyV (vintage unknown)
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!

Re: Rivet Joints now escorted?
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). The Russians, or others could have a variety of electronic means of knowing that they're there, but the FR24 m...

Re: Fancy a DH Vampire?
I guess this is the latest version of FlightSim? I've not kept up. Graphics and lighting look vastly better than anything I remember. 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...

Re: Amsterdam holiday snaps
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...)

Video of a recent (real) flight
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...

Re: What have I been up to?
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.

And if the images are not displaying for you, try viewing this page in Firefox. Seemingly it's a "mixed content issue" to do with this site being "https" (secure) and my site being being only "http" (not secure). I need to ditch talk talk and move to something better *-)
