‘Freak perspective storm hits airfield’

Freak weather conditions cause a temporary lack of optical perspective causing aircraft at the rear of formations to look kind of big and scary. These localised phenomenon can be very dangerous whilst landing and in the circuit , you have all been warned 😮

Is the Kingcobra on display on that page a ‘real’ one, it looks more genuine than the others :confused:

Hello Fabrice, welcome to the forum!

Try this site, the drawings vary in quality but it often has some useful scale plans.

Good luck with the model Yaks, make sure the wings have lots of washout 😉

If you don’t mind doing some small modifications- an F8 kit could be converted into a drone- some interesting pictures here…

“A quick taxi around the garden” soon degenerates into predictable attempts to take off, land and stop in the length of grass available (before the garden fence interveens :diablo: ) – I have the photos to prove it, and it is not a particularly big garden!!!

Note to prospective R/C model pilots, this behaviour is neither big nor clever, but rather amusing 😀

I can’t quite get my head around the problem with having the restoration/storage area at the end by the door. The permanent airspace exhibits will be as ‘permanent’ as those in the AAM, and presumably the conservation area will have ‘exhibits’ come and go- so does this not mean it makes perfect sense to arrange the building as in the plans?

Erm, discuss 🙂

When, for instance the Victor and what remains of the Shackleton are restored (Is it still a fuselage ‘walk through’, with the wings stored elsewhere?)- will the front area become an extension to the airspace exhibition?

Thanks for the replies so far- watching with interest!

‘Starting on a Tiger Moth’ -Sounds like a good plan, here’s mine, a GWS foam electric tiger moth. Not a fantastically accurate scale creation but nice and easy to fly. Weighing next to nothing you are unlikely to do much damage with one, but you can’t fly on anything other than a flat calm day. (They work a treat indoors-apparently 😮 )

Ah, that makes sense (I’d guess the Hastings tail is also not sat on the Sunderland wing 😉 ).

Layered images on Photoshop- yep, been there done that with all of the associated shouting/swearing..

Is there a 1:72 scale model of Air Space like the one built prior to the building of the AAM? I’d guess 3D CAD systems have taken over from an architects point of view. The only ones I have seen have just a couple of aircraft in though, looking a bit empty.

Slipstream, you are spot on with the VC10, (throwing cat amongst pigeons) it JUST squeezes the Spitfire into second place as far as the most graceful aircraft ever goes 😮

I count myself lucky to have grown up beneath a handy flight path that sees plenty of VC10s high above my family home back in Kidderminster, how much longer will they be in service :confused:

Most images still seem to appear as simple links, such as in the Twin Pin thread. :confused:

‘PRS earlier this month, in the comparative warmth of the hangar….

No such luxury today though, she was braving the cold giving scenic tours of snowy Warwickshire. Also, trudging back from Uni after a lecture, I could just make out the silhouette of a Dak flying past on the horizon, when they made up the phrase ‘sent to Coventry’ I thought it was supposed to be a bad thing 🙂
