Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
I havn't found a picture of the underside of 800 or 453, for the Rad Alts - so forget that! But have remembered the antenna in front of windscreen - it was the 2nd Telecommand Rx which in Meteor parlance was called the Destroy receiver 'cos in the old (VHF ?) days the destroy Rx had a more sensitive...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
Rick - that is looking marvellous. Just needs the M-B seat headbox showing under the canopy. If you don't put the nose version of the S band transponder (you have put the tail one on) then its in its current state and as it left Llanbedr in 2004. I am not quite sure which antenna is which, but obvio...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
Rick, One more small thing - check the engine intake size - they look a bit small to me - we did have the large dia ones I believe for High Alt flying(?) or was it just for Derwent 9s.

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
Rick, Like the colour screenshot very much - see you have all of the antennae except the nose & tail S band. Must admit that the nose one was taken off when we put a baby 2.4GHz spike just aft of the nosecone to transmit the TV pictures. When the B&W camera was installed it sat in the landin...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
Rick, I have quite a few photos in my library - what sort of shots do you need, & what info. Give me a PM of your e-mail address - I can then send with minimum compression possibly. Most are photos (film type) then digitised (scanned I suspect) & put onto a CD. I also have some digital photo...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
Jon, Thanks for that, but with Leifs proviso I think that I will stick with converting my FMS Meteor. BTW any one play with FMS?

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
Unfortunately for me they are in FSDS format & to convert one apparently needs FSDS to convert to DXF, then Gmax will by all accounts accept DXF! So I am still at square 1 - well almost - I do have the majority of a U16 that I did for FMS, from which I think I can DXF it.

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
Degsy, Now if one could marry your artwork with Just Flights British Airports...... I must say it brings back memories, but I have no Office!!!! BTW If you look at the satellite view of Llanbedr on Google maps you will see that there are unconventional markings on the main runway - 5 lateral stripes...

Re: The Ponds "Skunk Works"
Not too sure about creating a tow wire that changes shape as it deploys - it certainly ain't out straight behind as with a Flag type drogue which has a lot of drag associated with it - it also changes with speed....... we also spent a lot of time & flight trials trying to find out why some tows ...
