Lol! Lynx choppers doing loop the loops over your village? That must of looked really funny and good at the same time! I used to live right next to Regents park, and because the American embassador’s house was in regent’s park itself, we used to have CH47 Chinooks comming in right over the house, and the downdraft would shake the house lol! I used to stand on the roof with my brother and wave at the pilots, and they would all wave back.

Not sure actually! If they are working i suppose they would be appearing at airshows this year perhaps? As far as i know, we bought the apaches and fitted them with british parts.

Super shots! great focus on the pics! If i’m right Canada has the world’s largest water airport? Dunno where tho? Hope u had a fab holiday!

The one thing that the british do make is Jet engines! Rolls Royce (the car company) was sold to BMW, but Rolls Royce aero engines reamian british! And that is something to be proud of! Although, i do agree that Britain building almost nothing in the civil aviation market is pretty poor! My brother’s mate finished his degree in aero engineering and started working for BAE full time! Now he has the threat of loosing his job alltogether!

Love the photos! Especially the Dash 8Q400 Flybe! And also the Boeing 727! I have seen the exact version of that 727 in the carribean named Ameri Jet. Good pics.

Concorde apparently was named britain’s most genious and best invention ever in a national poll! Even though it was a joint venture with the French! Still, i wouldn’t disagree with that! Concorde is undoubtubly one of the best pieces of british aeronautical engineering. If only Virgin did operate them today! “sigh”
