You could also include in the refresher course a section about correct thread titles to make the search option more easy. ‘Crash today’ and ‘What is this?’ are a waste of time to the search option and busy viewers who may not have time to look at every post! 😀 Try to think like a newspaper reporter and get a catchy title which will explain the subject of the thread and make a viewer open it. 😉

I think you will find the VC10 was/is the worlds fastest non supersonic transport/pax aircraft so I was told when I was @ BZZ…..I stand to be corrected though 😉

A225HVY

I will correct you, you are on the wrong thread! 😀

NTSB are now reporting that the pilots observed that the runway was unlit and the F/O, the only survivor was flying the plane. 🙁

How do these ranks work and what do they mean? Is it tied to the amount of posts?

Ali (rank 1)

Ah, the black art or ranking! 😀 No, it is not related to posts or fences or bridges. It is related to who knows what, in other words do not bother to ask as all will never be revealed or the answer will be nonsensible.

Yes, the video is very interesting, it’s not very clear down there is it! 🙂

It appears as though no-one during this thread previously mentioned the most controversial, surviving/existing T.B.D. Devastator.

Poor old thing had then become a ‘bone of contention’ between the salvage/aircraft recovery company & the U.S. Navy who ‘claimed’ it as theirs, (despite being S.o.C. by them, in Sept 1943).

Check the (hopefully !) following links….. (the latter with pix).

That’s because we didn’t know, or remember! Good luck to Doug Champlin in his efforts to get some sense in the ‘corridors of power’. It is ironic that some ‘prat’ or whatever the US equivalent is behind a desk, has such power of the pen or lack of imagination to make a meaningful decision for history.
