Trying to get back into things this week
A gallery post as there is nothing new to report modelleing wise.....yet ...... but I've been pulling the bit's together and trying to get all the programmes running properly..but I still have bugs.
Anyway, I've been up getting re used to handling the beast with three engine circuits and max load take offs.
I did a touch and go at Alderney
Then landed at Gurnesey and taking off on GCI's 4,800 ft runway I used about 4,700 feet
Wasn't me

I knew you'd expect it so all I did was keep up apprearances
Funny you posting that today.. by some coincidence, I was watching another rerun of The Professionals this afternoon on ITV4 and in shot.. plain as you like.. was a Red Coat Britannia
I'll bet Garry isn't watching this I thought to myself

Nope.I didn't see that
I was busy creating laundry with the CL-44 up at Alderney, no so much a touch and go, more of a bump and dump......

Only ever seen one in the flesh.
I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.

Hi Eddie
There were only ever four 'J's.......all converted from D4 and one of them was lost in Colombia.
I used to see them overfly...D4 mainly often N121AE and once I saw a J.......Aer Turas.....the same one as you saw at Dublin
The only one I ever saw on the ground was the Guppy at LHR, only ever saw a Britannia once on the ground and that was G-ANCC at Gatwick in 1968
