Was in Portsmouth (Gunwharf Quay) this afternoon, had a Spitfire with D-Day stripes fly over – was ML407 down that way today?

I thought he lengthed it just a little, to solve some problem that the original had. Its only what MB would have eventually done anyway – why build a replica that faithfully duplicates some nasty problem of the original?

Read the history of the MB5 and you’ll realise that there were no nasty problems to be solved by some latter-day lookalike builder – everyone who flew it raved about it. 😎
MB enlarged the tail surfaces early on in it’s development and from then on it was just about perfect.

Steve, a great ILAFFT story.

I have a desktop, my wife has a laptop, we share a connection. I have two ID’s, so it could be me but I could prove myself innocent with a simple screenie. 🙂

back on topic…

given that so much VFR traffic is composed of aircraft with side-by-side seating and with P1 on the left, would it possibly work better if he was expected to give way to traffic coming from his left, i.e. that which would be easier to spot because there was less of his own aircraft’s structure in the way to mask it? To put it another way, the one with the best view is expected to take the avoiding action?
There have been similar posts on PPrune etc, where the one with the right of way saw the other guy, but he didn’t (couldn’t?) see them.
Sorry if this is a daft question, but I’m not sure of the reasoning for having it the way it is.

Thats not actully true as i am the photographer

Fair enough then 🙂
That’s a lot of flap to take off with, looks like landing flap (32 deg), hence Moggy’s query I guess.

It’s a Cirrus SR20, that particular one has it’s own website – 🙂
