Love the Spitfire 'panning' shot and Concorde (is that the 'newer' Koch Media/Altitude one?). One question, how did that Connie get in and out of Shoreham?

.and another question, whats with "Sunday Bird 2" :think:

That's 'The Mole', but I don't think it had a T-Bird number.

They carried in '2' and used it to get to places underground by drilling it's way in. Like a high speed Channel Tunnel Boring Machine.......

Ok in order... That (I think) is the SSTsim version of concorde. As for getting the Connie into Shorham, well I got it in to take the shot (just), but getting in out was... well let's just say it's still there

Oh and as as for Sunday bird 2. A Japanese chap has made a look-a-like TB1 and TB2 and for some reason (copyright?) has called them Sunday birds.
Press one button and TB2 rises on its legs, press another, the pod opens and out rolls the Mole, it drives forward, tilts up and then burrows (even chucking dirt into the air) and dissapears into the ground ( I kid you not)

Oh here's his Sundaybird 1

Regards and thanks for the kind comments

John,

My life, it never ceases to amaze me that there's such a variety of work out there for us nutters to download........

Thank you very much, that's wrecked any plans I had for this evening anyway.
