Classic British Flight Sim

ZA150 at Dunsfold. I've joined the Brooklands Museum as a volunteer to help keep her in a taxiable condition. We had out first visit yesterday to look her over.

I didn't notice that! Mike Lithgow wasn't Chief Test Pilot either, Jock Bryce was. Jock was due to fly that test but was called to a high powered meeting by Sir George Edwards at Weybridge to try and work out how they had lost the Trans-Canada Airlines 1-11 order to the DC9. BAC thought is was a cer...

Today marked 50 years since prototype BAC One-Eleven G-ASHG crashed after entering a super-stall during flight test killing all 7 crew members. RIP

A couple more shots.
I hope they will be able to keep this a/c live for taxi runs.

Her final arrival at Dunsfold today. Unfortunately the sun was on the wrong side of the runway to get any decent airborne shots http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul.robinson16/VC10/105.JPG http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul.robinson16/VC10/111.JPG http://homepage.ntlworld.com/paul.robinson16/VC10/117.JP...

Peter, Looks like you need a subscription to read (on firefox at least).

On a similar note at Brooklands today a Boscombe Down 1-11 pilot was saying that one of the systems they tested on the 1-11 could locate the a/c position down to 1 cm laterally & vertically

Whilst at Brooklands today the head of the Classic Airforce announced they has acquired ZA148

QUEEN OF THE SKIES TO BE PRESERVED AT NEWQUAY

On Wednesday August 28 one of the last three flying Vickers VC10 jetliners will land at Newquay to become a permanent part of the Classic Air Force collection.

I'm surprised nobody has posted this today. At 19:42 today in 1963 G-ASHG took to the air for the first time for a 27 min flight. I went to the 50th anniversary bash at Brooklands today and found it a bit of a mixed bag. We had a presentation by 1)a BAC flight test engineer, 2) a British Eagle engin...

Anybody else spot the short clip of a Boston? They used it twice by reversing the film.

SWMBO also got tired of them labouring the point the presented was in a wheelchair. That said you can't deny he enjoyed his flight in her (the Mossie not the wife ).
