Classic British Flight Sim

I downloaded version2 of the D.H. Dove from Flightsim.com but, when I tried to extract the zip file (using XP's own unzip utility) a window appeared prompting me for a password. What do I do next? (I previously had version1 without any such prompt (nor with other downloads). Guess it will be somethi...

Hopefully not a stupid question - but where is the A380 arriving at LHR on the 18th coming from? Toulouse or Finkenwerder (Hamburg)? or, is she 'on tour'? Reason for my question is that my office roof is in the Eastern part of the City of London and, I get a good view of Planes turning onto finals (...

Just my few penn'oth on the film 'Sound Barrier' and supersonic airliners chat nature of this thread.. Firstly, on the film - there was some nice footage of the Comet 1. One thing puzzled me, when the engines started in Cairo to bring back the Test Pilot and his Missus, they seemed to have used a ca...

Garry/Chris Re TACV (Cabo Verde) ''The one I have is a basically white livery with the tail in a blue logo arrangement.'' Yes, I have seen that photo. Reckon it is in a 'reserve fleet' livery there as my photo definitely shows aforesaid stripes and definitely black nose radome. I will see if I can s...

Garry/Chris (crisso) Ref TACV Looking at my (slightly overexposed) photo print - the livery is overall white (fuselage) with a twin parallel but slightly separated blue above red line at window level which then in front of the front door dips down slightly and narrows to end at the black nose radome...

Do you mean TACV Cabo Verde Airlines? Yes, certain it was. (Was on business trip accompanying a superior and he made all the arrangements.) We travelled LHR-Sal with SAA 747 then next day did the internal flight from Sal to Praia on the HS748 and of course, returned couple of days later. Have one c...

My real-life previous experience. Back in the late 1980's I flew as a passenger on a HS748 with Cape Verde Airlines on an internal flight from Sal to Praia and return. Only a short flight 30 mins or so but, quite an experience with some lively manouevres by the Portugese aircrew. To be frank, despit...

Thanks for the heads up.

I see there is no sound file therefore, any specific recommendations appreciated?

Cheers,

Did the actual prototype (or a mock-up possibly?) appear in the old b&w British movie of 'Cone of Silence' that was made in the 1950's? It was representing a fictional first generation jet called the 'Phoenix'. Actually, not a bad film although not as good as the book by David Beaty. The plot ce...
