Classic British Flight Sim

Completely agree Garry. I just don't understand the current obsession with overdone panel lines on models. Even when the shape of the airplane is as wrong as these examples, there are those that simply compound the felony. Even as a feckless youth I would never of dreamed of making a model that was ...

Hello, I guess this http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-to-start-nagging-windows-xp-users-about-april-8-end-of-support-date-7000026932/ is what the update brings you.

Thanks John, that fin flash looks like it might be one of the RAF ones but I can't find anything that says they're still operating them. Somebody is - it's distinctly airborne :agree: Sadly the resolution of the picture is about as good as it's going to get. As I said it was right on the limit of th...

Thanks again, Paul

Many thanks, Paul

Hi Keith, have to acknowledge those but only the F104 was a production machine and the wings on all of them were really only stubs. None of them had a great reputation for staying airborne for very long :( That's what I don't understand - surely you couldn't have the size of wings shown the picture ...

Nice, Dave - "Ground Breaking Poop" :) Please may I use that? I saw this tosh a few days ago in an Aussie paper - like the Sun we get the global BS a little earlier. It's been a long time since I didn't study aerodynamics but is it really possible to cruise above Mach 1 with straight wings...

Would that be "if only I knew now what I knew then"?
