Classic British Flight Sim

Scary stuff, couldn't believe that they allowed it to go untended for so long! The Flight Global article and previous posts give exactly why it was allowed to go "unattended" for the period it did. Reality was, fire crews were standing there waiting the entire time, so in fact, the entire...

Obviously to trained firefighters, there's a wealth of difference between "tending" and "acting", but to mere mortals, who did not even realize that this was a test, it appeared that things were being let go, following a widespread brake or bearing overheat. The precise meaning o...

I think I'd cack myself too! Fire is one of the few things which petrify (and strangely, fascinate) me. The tyres go with quite a pop don't they! (I don't know why I read this topic so quickly, must be the title and the fact I'm 4 days into giving up the fags!!) Well (Mr) Otter, being one of the ki...

Scary stuff, couldn't believe that they allowed it to go untended for so long! I wrote the following in my girlfriend's autograph book 45 years ago**, it immediately came to mind while watching: "A little fire is quickly trodden out; Which, being suffered, rivers cannot quench." William Sh...

I have until now, been frustrated by the inaccuracies in roads etc which are very helpful in VFR. This is my very first attempt at photo upload, so with any luc...

The Horizon VFR has been promising a full Scotland for years. If the decide to go for Hi-res like the 'Isles', it will probably cost over 100 quid to cover, which will be silly. I never fly north of the border now (I hate FSX UK default scenery) and would love to see the Highlands in VFR. Hi Trev, ...

Thanks for the background Chris.

I read these posts with a deal of interest. 747 is obviously a casual or new visitor (2 posts). He/she very likely does not have English as his first language, (mis-spelt "the" as "teh", but this could have been a finger slip, as few folks seem to check their spelling these days,...

Yes, I've actually seen a longer talk by this fellow; you can't watch him without doing a reality check on your own situation. Powerful stuff.

You meet on line, you start to reach out, then they're gone. I never touched Leif, but I feel a space where he was.
Heartfelt condolences to Leif's family. He will be remembered.
