Re: WEATHER!

I would like to know how Peter is as well please. Just found this thread as I was wondering if anyone else had any update from him / about him. I last chatted to him on Facebook messenger two years ago and he told me he had been diagnosed with Alzheimers and was struggling with recent memories and ...

Re: Happy Birthday TobyV (undated)

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Re: Amsterdam holiday snaps

Thanks for all the positive comments :thumbsup: . 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...)

Amsterdam holiday snaps

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 images are hosted does not have an ...

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. ...
