Airspeed - Mike Johnson

It could be RAE Bedford but I don’t remember their Phantoms wearing plain grey.

Hmmm... I suspect that those who know their British airline history may think that british_eagle and HaroldBamburg are the same person. :dunno:

Re: Bag the Hun

Re: A record breaking good deed!

Thank you all for your very kind comments - I'll show them to Chris when she gets back tomorrow. I think she'll be very surprised to find herself on a flight sim site! She was interviewed earlier by the local Jersey ITV station and there are some short clips here: https://www.itv.com/news/channel/20...
