Classic British Flight Sim

Dave, re: the flaps, I seem to recall that the flaps and such weren't truly disconnected, it's just that the hydraulics have been partly disconnected thereby preventing the use of these for the flaps (even if you could get a hydraulic power source). The port flaps were wound down partly early in its...

That is a nice site indeed! Thanks!

Hi Dave, :wave: I guess you're right, it won't be solved in the near future. I've seen plans for that hangar that were old when I saw them which is almost 10 years ago. Indeed it's a shame that 'Vagrant' is outside but as long as it will not last the entire winter she should be allright. Luckily mos...
