No VC? WAAAAAAAA...
But that is of course your prerogative.
I may have to make an exception to my "VC only" rule for this though. After all what are rules made for, except to be...

Hi Kikko
No change..still sourcing stuff and still have to work on the Laptop which is why I'm working on the Britannia project.
I can't handle the Superfreighter on the laptop properly a situation that is starting to occur on the CL-44, the most advanced of the Britannia project.

That was one of two that went to Templehof that day. I think it was a special charter as pics of the type there are not common except this event.
The other machine was G-ANVR..both Southend based.

That's a great picture. Southend to Berlin in a Superfreighter must've been a fun and looong ride.

G-AMWA once appeared in a mag detailing the movenment for a month in Karachi.
The Silver City used to go to Libya at times
Air Charter used to fly rocket parts to Womera....this was the late fifties/early sixties so they might still be on their way back

Apologies for inflicting you with one of my poor excuses for a FRAPS
The purpose of which is to showcase the excellent soundpack from Aeromusica.....Mark Cranston and Benoit Plamondon
I can't get any quality.....perhaps it's my 1GB RAM
and caputuring it any bigger just reduces it to a slide show
Turn up the speakers
..........don't watch it full screen and perhaps even better, close your eyes
In future I'll leave it to my vid guys but I can't get the latest version to them for technical reasons.
