D Day stripes...That's what struck me.......must be lost
But he does say somewhere over the Pacific so I take it he doesn't know where he is

I was flying somewhere over the Pacific when I took these. Can't remember where I was took them.

That's what comes of being honest...had you said "over the Channel" (being careful not to specify which one), the critics would have been silenced.
Good pics, of one of my favourite aircraft.

I will get FSX one day, but I'm not in any rush.

Over the swaying palms and coral reefs of Canvey Island ?

Nice pics.
With the placement of the engines I always think the Beau looks as though it's going to thump you with two big fists....

I'm just happy mine flies, I don't care where, it's a beaut ship.
I'm unhappy that the panel doesn't want to show though, maybe it's gone to the Pacific without me.
I've sent a PM to DaveG, but if any of you blokes known why the panel wants to hide ... feel free.
