Hello Gentlemen... Phew... :) Interesting debate. Loads of knowledge and experience coming through. Enjoying reading this thread.

Hi Dave & Gary... Firstly, thanks for the interesting and comprehensive replies :) Really informative...suspected that the aircraft was introduced at the wrong time. As for the "Politics" Gary...the Trident springs to mind on that one...just think how well the B727 sold :wall: I Got th...

Hi .... Was looking to get a bit more info re: the excellent Vanguard. Read the comprehensive manual kindly provided by Fraser. I wanted to know what the correct climb rate is ( I was struggling with this leg :S ) of the flight. Anyway, found a good article in 'Flight international' (20-26 Nov 1996)...

Hello.. Thanks all for the warm welcome and the help. :) I've got the latest model (I think) Aug. 2008. Still no joy.
