Classic British Flight Sim

Trying to get back into things this week

A gallery post as there is nothing new to report modelleing wise.....yet ...... but I've been pulling the bit's together and trying to get all the programmes running properly..but I still have bugs.

Anyway, I've been up getting re used to handling the beast with three engine circuits and max load take offs.







I did a touch and go at Alderney

Then landed at Gurnesey and taking off on GCI's 4,800 ft runway I used about 4,700 feet





Wasn't me

What a pretty set of Tynes. Pity about what they're attached to

Good one Garry.

Hi Dave

I thought you might pop up and say something like that .....can't think why I thought that though

I knew you'd expect it so all I did was keep up apprearances Funny you posting that today.. by some coincidence, I was watching another rerun of The Professionals this afternoon on ITV4 and in shot.. plain as you like.. was a Red Coat Britannia I'll bet Garry isn't watching this I thought to myself

Nope.I didn't see that

I was busy creating laundry with the CL-44 up at Alderney, no so much a touch and go, more of a bump and dump......

Nothing like a bit of 'live' main gear testing to get the adrenalin flowing

Loving those shots mate. I think its a beautiful aircraft.

Hi Eddie

I'm looking forward to doing the CL-44J.......one of those just over 16 feet longer

Only ever seen one in the flesh.

EI-BGO at Dublin in 1986. It was parked up in a derelict state minus several vital organs.

Never forget seeing that as a youngster.

Hi Eddie

There were only ever four 'J's.......all converted from D4 and one of them was lost in Colombia.

I used to see them overfly...D4 mainly often N121AE and once I saw a J.......Aer Turas.....the same one as you saw at Dublin

The only one I ever saw on the ground was the Guppy at LHR, only ever saw a Britannia once on the ground and that was G-ANCC at Gatwick in 1968
