Re: Book Recommendation
Not a lot of flying memoirs in this, but it is about the wartime RAF. If you don't get a wee bit emotional at the last sentence, I don't know what will get you going! AN absolute stonker of a read. Maybe a little hard to track down now, but if you can get it from a library, do so. 'Boat in the Blue'...

Re: Tonka crew having a laugh

One for Peter.....

Leuchars fins
Just to mention, 4 Fins in tight formation with a fifth trailing passed low over Longniddry (12 miles east of Edinburgh) tracking WSW around 12.30 - wonder what that was all about?

Re: Black 5 for Speedbird591
:lol: :lol: :lol: I didn't think that for one minute. You're just a chap who's interested in the railways (and god knows.. we have a load here!) and knew the answer to what was a genuine question regarding the use of nameplates :) You don't have an anorak and a little book full of numbers do you?? ...

Re: Take-off distances for VC10
Not sure what you want really as that is not how things are worked out. A regularly used runway has its own take-off performance graph that will allow you to work out what the max take-off weight will be for given conditions of wind and temp (with another graph for pressure) are... At a runway that...
