Classic British Flight Sim

I don't think that's rudder trim.. too far forward. If you note where the pilots hand is, look aft and you'll see the rudder trim. She has her hand on the AP turn control me thinks :think:

Noting the attitudes of both pilots.. I think that shot was taken while on the racetrack. The nav repeater would tend to lean toward this too ;-)

OK, yes got it Dave...It is a long while since my only flight in a VC10...I had a party of ATC cadets doing AEF and at the time I was a First Officer on BEA Vanguards. I was invited up front and sat in that rear central seat while they did several "engine failure on take-off and assymetric circuit" exercises. Coming from the Vanguard, I was impressed with how very little rudder trim was needed to adjust for a outer engine failure :o ....just a few divisions rather than the several turns of the trim wheel that I was used to

Oh dear standards are slipping, that man in the front left needs his hair cutting ;-)
Nice pictures always love seeing this beauty in the air ..when do they phase it out..a sad day.. :-(

Just noticed the guy by the car on the short finals pic, what a cracking view point!

Yes indeed.. though you're not supposed to be there really

It does allow shots like this though..

DaveB :tab:

Are you taking out the Premier Fighters to Fighter Town tomorrow?

Thanks for the explanation Tonks as thought whilst you took the photographs an airman had come up for a ride and you placed him there just for a few minutes.

For goodness sake don't tell him what I thought....it would really ruin his week-end being thought of as an AC!!

Kind regards
Nigel.

Shame, well, I will be off somewhere next week if any of them get stuck alone the way
