    the single biggest advantage of a FBW system is the ability to design an aircraft that is very efficient, but no human could fly free-hand.

    Damien,

    Mike J found it in a bookshop in York I think it was, and sent me the details, I got it for 32.99………….even for a book as relatively rare as this one seems to be, 65 smackers is allot.

    Thanks for remembering though……..

    cdrb was the one at brs, I thought it was a diff. one at filton………….maybe not, however, the one at filton is in spankin new globespan scheme now, and quite pretty I think.

    cheers chaps, I am not a reg collector personally so I’ll see if I can see it on any of my other shots,

    I noticed that there was a flyglobespan 737 in BRS today, looks very pretty (much cleaner than the one in the shot……….which appeared to be on a training flight as it did not go to a gate, stayed on the taxi-way for 10 mins or so, did not refuel, and went straight out………)

    EDIT: Just checked a piccy and the Globespan 737 is G-CDRB

    The man does indeed use a step-ladder.

    That really helps out with getting just-taken off shots. I get through-the-fence shots with my 500mm, as the lense is effectively staring right past it……………not sure about being able to get through with less than that.

    Heres a few shots I got in the late afternoon on the 03/12………..soo late I needed ISO 800/1600.

    Hope you don’t mind mr flibble!

    wonder if they will be as good as the hawk…….i.e. a mixed blessing,

    anyhew, saving up for another dynavector tsr2 as I am scratchbuilding all the open bits, and I’d like one in flying pose……..possibly in that rasberry ripple scheme!
