Not posted any A2A shots for a while, hope you like them...

Beautiful shots Tonks....thanks very much :excited:

Both wings are shown with what appears to be exactly the same up aileron.....is that coincidence, or are you straight and level and that the extent of the up set aileron?? *-)

Cheers chaps, glad you like them...

Yes Garry there is a slight up-rig of the ailerons and they can actually be selected higher than that... ask me over Christmas and I will write an explanation!! 0:)

The AC behind the 10 is a 767 that does the Falklands run... can't remember the airline though!

Rgr on the 767 :thumbsup:

Aileron upset Garry.. 2 systems (A+B).. alternated on odd and even days :) Don't ask for a 'full' explanation though :lol:
By some coincidence.. I'm about to change my avatar to something not unrelated to the shots above :worried: *-) :wasntme:
