Re: Sad News

A silly thought just occurred to me. It was Dave who must have checked every day to see if it was anyone's birthday, and if so, posted a thread wishing them a happy birthday. It's little things like that in life which sometimes are the most uplifting. I'm late as ever... I'd only been into E&S ...

Re: Swiss Avro RJ last flight photos

Stunning view (until the rain). Such a shame to see a type younger than me (just, by a few days) retiring.

Re: Barry Norman R.I.P.

Couldn't believe it when they mentioned on the radio he stopped doing "Film" for the BBC nearly 20 years ago! Where did the time go?

RIP.

Re: HMS Queen Elizabeth

With the Navy's current size I'm surprised there's anything above a Rear Admiral!

Good looking ship. It might have been better sans ski-jump and able to take F-35, Hornet, Hawkeye et al, but it is what it is.

Re: Bruntingthorpe Cold War Jets

Myself and a former VC10 pilot colleague in the front seats with one of our founder engineers at the panel. :) The group is a fairly diverse one of about half a dozen former VC10 aircrew (and one who isn't), a dozen or so current and former RAF engineers and several enthusiast civilians with various...

Re: Bruntingthorpe Cold War Jets

Dave, Gates open at 0900 although the queue normally forms well before then. The first aircraft to run will be at 1100 (starting engines about 1045) and happens to be the VC10 (due to size, she tends to go first or last). After that she will taxi around to the back and be towed into the show area. A...
