Hi Guys

Blimey i can't believe how much the wings flex on landing!.

Superb video guys.

I think the VC on my model is a lot closer than i previously assumed after watching that one.

Regards
Rick

I thought that as well....almost as good as Rick's model :)

I well remember Argosys and as with any aircraft they have a sit and look in action that is dificult to put into words....it's their personality in a way.

I always felt Ricks Argosy looked right.... playback and watch it land and it appeared just as it should, but there is no way I can describe what I mean.

This video shows that well. :)

Nigel and Garry must be telepathic!

That footage is taken from the video: 'The Final Flight.'

The opening sequence looks odd though. Where it taxis past those people, it doesn't look real. And that in-the-cockpit shot - photographic or FS. But why?
