Quite lovely. If you want a good laugh , and some insight into the minds( if they can be called that ) of the penpushers in the CAA, have a look at the operating restrictions imposed on its C of A, which include the classic : " Minimum Flight Crew : One "

More than that Peter...it's a classic :welldone:

So much is special...that mist is so atmospheric. Low light winter or very early morning summer shots can be so magical and at least this time of year there can be a little gentle action.

Did you take it?

If CBFS ever offer a folder of wallpapers featuring classic British aircraft, I hope that would be in there.

How about it Ben??

Jolly good, Peter, :welldone:
Same question from me - is it your photo?
Cheers, Mike.

No Guys, it is not my picture...It is the header picture for the Shuttleworth web site, but I liked it so much that I had to have it. I cropped it slightly to reduce its length :)

I've been trying to reproduce that scene with my Falcon model, cannot get the effect in FS9, & must have another try in FSX, but its difficult getting the sun in that position for a start & not sure I can get the misty effect either. Fun trying though!!!

I don't think the sun would be a problem Keith but the ground-level mist certainly would. Let us know if you manage it though :thumbsup:

Nope, can't get the contrast even between the shade & lit parts, let alone the misty bit! Time seems to be about 0830 Dec 14/15 to get sun about right, i.e a very recent photo!
Anyone want to try P3D?
