Classic British Flight Sim

Today is the anniversary of the very last arrested landing made on an RN ship, at the end of HMS Ark Royals final commission. The last aircraft to recover was a Gannet AEW.3 of 849B flight, piloted by Lt. Hugh Slade.

Hmmmmmm....Gibraltar......I was born there 43 years ago.....did ya like it....

Tony

43 years ago.. well, I have nothing to do with your arrival Tony. I really WAS a boy in short trousers then

Been to Gib so many times, I stopped counting. Can't say it was ever my favourite place on earth (though the jail isn't bad)
