Time for another reinstall?

Yesterday, the phone went (as usual) as I was at around 700 feet after takeoff in a Caledonian VC10 from Edinburgh..... anyway...... I thought I'd hit 'P' but when I came back the plane was doing 502 knots at 105 feet above the sea :o :o :o - is this an FS oddity, since if I left it it quite happily remained at that altitude!

then there's the speed......... :o

Depends on a number of factors such as crash detect etc.... I've seen similar before :)

This is a Scottish oddity, Jim. You're just too mean to buy an answering machine :lol:

Face it - it's highly unlikely to be her Majesty's PPS with a query about your MBE. Keep flying!

Ian :lol:

Crash detect was off...... which I think I did when I was pretending to be Jonesey and peter in the Chippie :lol:

Ian.... I've tried to record a 'sorry I'm approaching Vr so can't answer the 'phone' but got told 'no!' :lol: :lol:
