Piece of cake, how could you put Team Tornado on that list ?
Please no one else mention books by John Nichol.
my kids just gone mad seeing aunty Mables plane on my computer. G- RAFG, now i got to go find a pic of pippin to shut them up !!
Chicken hawk is an excellent read, though won’t tempt me, all of those bits of metal whizzing around !
Dale Brown does kill some of them off in Old Dog but if you keep reading his novels some off them ain’t dead yet !!
Stephen Coonts is an excellent author just not at the top of my list.
finally for now what about Clive Cussler ? Where else can you read about Dirk Pitt and his trusty sidekick performing dogfights against a WW1 Albotross in a Catalina ?
All his books tend to be nautically biased save the world from tyronney but always include aircraft and are good reads.
fiction i know but still outsanding reads,
anything by Dale Brown especially Storming Heaven (has about twenty titles)
anything by Richard Herman personnal favourite is his first Warbirds
Anyone with even the slighest interest in aviation will lap these up trust me !!
That reminds me better get all mine back off friends………… er excuse me can i have it back now please ?
i saw it, very good it was well.
And by all accounts the only remaining Mk1 anywhere i hope they manage to bring the
rest up.
The sunderland Mk1 had sunk in a bad storm after the anchor had been torn out of its mounting. Prompting a redesign and the MK2 ?
The museum is just across the river from there i think, yet another place on my list to visit now. the list never seems to get shorter though !
Does anyone know how old that program is, wether the engine is restored yet ?
next open day is Sept 11 th i think, and there will be three buccs by then.
cracking photos wish i’d gone now, oh well !
i’ll be by XW544 come and say hello she’ll be there by end of this month !
real good idea i would definetly use it
which end of the runway will they be using ? away from the hanger ?
that rotorwing sure looks mean, but slightly more suited me thinks as an escort.Smaller for a start,
mind you they said the huey would make a bad gunship !!
looks like another attempt to waste millions of dollars to me.
i jokingly suggest i could save them millions of dollars, research ? development? all completly unneccesary all they should do is get hold of a copy of Dale Browns Hammerheads he has already converted them for them all they would have to do is fit it. about as far fetched as it actually happenning………
andrewman,
you are a top bloke, thanks for that. more to follow i promise!!
[QUOTE=Peter Mills]The Shackleton (Pelican16 – 1716) that crashed is still there, well some of it!
thanks for that, i watched the discovery wings program it showed them revisiting but can’t remembering it mentioning what had happenned to it.
Der any pics of that Bucc, ones i got are quite old
i don’t doubt for a second that preserving the rare ones is the better choice, shacks may not be rare yet but they will be surely, that wasn’t my point anyway.the point was the paint scheme.
coincidently , exactly how many shacks are there left now?
i know of air atlantiques two………. coventry and the U.S
that coke one…….
what happenned to that South African one that crashed ?
thanks simmer
will toodle off and try those suggestions
