Hi Dave ( and all others )

Thank you for the welcome - my interest in historic aircraft began in 1965 when I flew to Gib in a vanguard, but remember being upset because I couldn't fly by Comet. First commercial jet flight in a 1-11 from Orly to Bristol. David Maltby's wonderful panels has only enhanced the experience. I'm also CEO of DAN Air VA, operating at Great British Airlines VA

I hope to fly regularly with you, and play an active part here in the forums

Excellent Mike

I had a similar flying experience but in reverse. I was scheduled to fly to Lisbon (I was in the RN at the time going on a NATO posting) and expected to be flying by Comet but was chuffed to bits when I found myself boarding a Trident! Comet's did the Gib run as you know but not the Lisbon run so it was a nice surprise Never managed a trip in a Comet though.. OR a Vanguard for that matter Still.. we get to fly them here and that's better than nothing

On the question of flying how long does it take for FSAirlines to issue me with a pilots ID

I assume with the numbers of VAs under their umbrella they must do the updates in cycles - I've parked myself at Manchester in a 1-11, set up the tracking software, just waiting for clearance so to speak

Incidentally after the Orly trip I went back out to Nice in a Trident - as you must know they still have one at Manchester in the Concorde viewing park

Hi Mike,

The gurus here (such as DaveB) are usually prompt, so I wouldn't be surprised if you got the okay to start later on this evening. (If not, don't worry -- it'll be sooner rather than later!)

Enjoy,
David
