Classic British Flight Sim

All the Canadian Vanguards now have decent reserves aboard, now to head back home.

Ooo.. well done that man Cheers Richard

EDIT.. Richard.. just noticed you've jumped into a Viking. I've made a quick start on those too mate. All things considered.. I reckon over 300kg is a reasonable amount to leave onboard. All Vikings at Southend are at this level now ;-) Forgot I'd made a start on the Vikings too :roll:

Thanks Dave, unfortunatley i probably wont be able to do that flight now until tommorow. I'll ensure there is plenty left on board although i think it has well over 300 there already. I'll see if i can slowly do the Northolt vikings up to a decent level if you like.

Hi Richard..

No problem mate. I appreciate the Viking isn't everyones cup of tea and we have a lot to get up to 300kg+!! For sure.. don't make it a lifes mission but every little helps ;-) You've already done great work with the Canadian Vanguards and it's much appreciated ;-)

Of course not i may just top them up say one a week or so whilst hopping around in other things. I really enjoyed breaking into a new continent with the Vanguards and only three of them actually needed refuelling.

Richard

That's fine Richard ;-)

Yup.. flying the Canadian routes is great and it was a bonus for things to fall as they did for us. Don't forget we also have a fleet of Chinese registered Tridents too

A dream (and this is very much a personal dream) would be for us to one day, have a 'Foreign' fleet covering the far off distant places flown by the likes of the Connie.. the Stratocruiser.. maybe the 707.. perhaps the Tristar or EVEN the 747-200's.. all serving BOAC/BA routes and wearing BOAC/BA livery. This would certainly be a diversion from our original mission statement but in essence.. we fly classic aircraft on classic routes so who knows ;-) Unless the current pricing policy changes.. I can't see us ever flying Concorde as it's simply not possible to make a profit.. in fact, it's not possible to make anything other than a resounding loss!! The introduction of older wide-bodied jets could be a pre-requisite TR for all Concorde pilots in order to offset the massive losses Concorde flights incur. I know from personal experience that this is still a rather large pill to swallow for many here but I feel it could work if managed in a positive way. We'll see ;-)

A bit late i know but all the Northolt Vikings have suitable reserve fuel levels now. I just don't understand why so few people fly the Viking i find it great fun and nice to fly.

Richard

Tks for that Richard I made a start with the Vikings but never got em finished

I enjoy the Vikings too,but try to keep my hand in on the lot so I suppose nothing gets the time it deserves.
