Low pass

Post by NigelC »

Hi guys,

Been away for a while dealing with various issues, but just dug the desktop back out and set up again ready to do some virtual aviating once more.

At the moment, I'm involved with some old friends in setting up a BIA reunion for next February which will be 25 years since the lights were turned off.

So I thought I'd share this one with you, and there may be more, previously unseen, to follow of the 1-11 in service. :)

Someone on a jolly! Think we'd just taken delivery. Pilot was one Johnny Hackett, former English Electric then BAC test pilot. Joined BIA as Chief Pilot straight from development flying on Concorde.
