    These topics have been well covered here in numerous threads over the years. Try doing a few searches 🙂 – however it is looking increasing likely that a bucc will take to the air in the uk soon.

    hmm – I recently saw a pic of the swiss brietling connie which had a similar problem recently – it ended up sitting on its tail – hopefully no damage was done!

    FL200 – Hello Jon it was you then!! – I’m well jealous – you have the best job in the world m8! – take it you guessed who I was by the photos of the back of your head!!

    Yep best landing I’ve ever had ! – my dad was well chuffed and as I’ve just spoken to him on the phone – he says a big thankyou to you!

    Had a great look at brunty with lots of tight turns. 🙂

    now if you can wangle a trip up in the DC6 😉

    hope to go flying with you again sometime, as Old Fart said – when’s the next open day?

    Twin pin or prentice is next on my list!

    Where else can you get to go up in such a fantastic variety of aircraft!!

    I’m always amazed when I go to AA – I am always left with the feeling that all the staff enjoy their jobs with a great enthusiasm – even if its raining or -2degrees!! – that’s refreshing in this day and age!

    Well done!

    no probs – sorry the quality of the pics is not too good – it was a bit bumpy up there today and most of my shots were blurred!

    I didnt know about the hanger next to the Belfast hanger – when was that built? – is that for the ‘car re-processing’ company?

    sure I saw an empty looking sea harrier on the back of a truck heading towards the M1 on the A46 near Leicester on Tuesday evening!

    yes – I remember the day well – It was very cold but when she taxied onto the hard standing and shut down everyone swarmed under her – and suddenly everyone was warm!

    Ive got some great photos I took but can’t scan at the moment – pants!

    320psi – did you fly in from cov on the dak? – I had forgot about the visiting dak – was it a planned trip or adhoc so to speak?

    Nice pics!

    Did you have a 20D before? – if so why did you upgrade? – what are the advantages?

    I ask as Im trying to make up my mind between a D200 and 20D – 30D

    -I have no lenses so Im not restricted!!

    sorry should be asking this on the photo section

    Just looked at the date and I had a flash back to standing on a very cold airfield – was it not today a few years ago that she landed at Brunty??
