Over the next couple of decades, I think we’ll see more warbirds, not less – more restorations and recoveries, plus the new-build 262s, 190s, Oscars etc, and goodness knows what else. Yes they’re expensive, but there will still be the money available.
Longer term, who knows? As for the fast jets, no chance.

Not so, my XP Home had DX8. I have just upgraded to 9.0b this week, everything worked first time. Sorry that doesn’t help directly, but all I did was follow the MS procedure and it did work. Can’t say I noticed much difference though! Are you sure you need it?

From a selfish viewpoint, get myself up to solo standard on a P51, via a T6.:cool:

If I was giving it away, half each for Carolyn and Elly.;)

Ashley, we’re still up for it. Can you clarify – is the ‘Dambusters’ film the Richard Todd movie or something else?

I think RER too, you may need to change at Chatelet if my memory is good.

Try a Google.

Looks nice, in a speculative colour scheme. I’d like to know where it’s from, I haven’t seen that one before.:cool:

Desmos

Yes they came in 250, 350 and 450, Desmo and non-Desmo.

Pic – Pantah

One of the first belt-drive Dukes in the country. Very expensive for the time (£3500 in 1981), and beset with problems, such as needing a gearbox rebuild within a month. When it was working, a fast and stable ride. Turned heads too!
