Yer not alone Daz, i have had a ****ter of a day at work, my oppo on the first shift didn’t turn in – again had to do both his and my work, ****ter day at home too arguing with the she bi*** from hell. plus i have had a banging headache all day too.
Robbo, i know the feeling with the migraine, i suffer with them too. if it gets bad i take two cocodamol and two paracetamol, if its VERY bad i also take two amatripalene to knock myself out.

jeez, i thought about this comic strip when i posted that pic of the russian 2 seat hurricane a couple of days ago. thought it was just the kind of conversion they would have in the storyline (remember the all red mossie or the B25 with more .50 cals than a flight of mustangs?)
thanks for that link, off to have a good looksee right now,
Greg

cheers for the info Septic, unfortunatly my computer scanner is u/s (they tend to stop working after one of the kids stands on them 🙁 ) otherwise i would put the pics on here. when i was there there were some french(?) spotter type aircraft on the other side of the hangar along with a couple of american cars, if you saw them have you any idea what the aircraft were? i didn’t get a good look at or pics of these due to running out of time.
cheers.
Greg

great pics folks, thanks. has anyone got any pics of the B29 washingtons flown by the RAF?
cheers.
Greg

there is one at Newark air museum too, can’t remember the serial though. plus there used to be one on the gate at RAF Linton on ouse, not sure if it is till there.

Hi Guys, for me it would have to be the good old chippie, i don’t have much stick time and not on very many types, namely
chippie X4
venture
cessna 152 X2
cherokee
slingsby glider.
so i can’t really judge on anything else, but the chippie seemed to already know what you wanted it to do and it was light and responsive, the difference i found between it and the cessna is like the difference between a ford escort MK2 and a transit van (i know i have left myself open to a blasting from cessna pilots / owners but this is just my honest opinion), i did like the cherokee though but only had my paws on the controls for about ten mins.
Greg
btw i did enjoy flying the cessna

have a radio control piper cub with a 9ft span in my mates loft (if he hasn’t gotten rid of it), it hasn’t flown for about 12 years due to its u/c being somewhat weakened by my err “arrivals” (how i landed her can in no way be described as a landing :0 ) the take off and flying bit i could do well but the other bit!!! i have got to say though, i never actually broke anything, just weakened it. (i have landed a (real) chipmunk and cessna with no problem, or bouncing/porpoising/groundloops) did once manage a three pointer with the cub though, if both mainwheels and the prop boss count that is 😀 .
the rest ended up in binbags
