Rudder Pedals

Hi chaps, have been using my car racing pedals for rudders for quite some time and now in a position to buy one of two rudders that I have seen and wonder whether any of you might have one or the other. 1) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-TFRP-T-Flight-Rudder-Pedals/dp/B01649IVI8/ref=asc_df_B01...

Re: This really took me by Surprise!!

Pity, thought it too good to be true!! :hide: :lol: There are things that do catch me out though, but if it involves money (mine) I don't bite.

Shackleton Video Coventry and Newark Museums

Came across this nice video and shows that it was posted 4th August. Just over half way through sees Brian Withers giving a talk of his time on the Shackleton. Good to see him again as last time we spoke it must be around 15 years ago when I last went to Newark Air Museum. Remember when went to Cove...

I visited him recently (staying at Hartsholme camping site); our first trip to Lincoln in a while - it's changed a bit! Hi Chris, Lincoln has certainly changed a lot especially since...
