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.

Daz – thats what happened to the connie – pics on the website
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?

ps so, which aircraft do you like flying the best?
4 seats as far as I know
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!
curly boy – hmm not something you could miss!! – the car park was in the process of being resurfaced on my visit. Didnt see any sign of the B50! – I wonder where they hid it?
Curly boy – Didnt see anything of a B50! and looks like ther is lots to do on the B17 (only open for walkthroughs at weekends)
also visited Yanks air museum at chino – lots of interesting aircraft but kind of weird place!
here are a few snaps of Yanks
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??
Ah – ooh er – well spotted!
just checking to see who is on the ball!

my first and last turbo prop flight was on a Viscount – the one that did the round robin of the uk airports – from EMA – great
