In fact we don’t “read” hectoPascal out (well certain people do to spend more time on the air!)

We say “(altitude) 2.000 feet, QNH 1019”

Long time since I’ve had an “Inch” altimeter aircraft. Do we read 29 point 92 (American) to avoid confusion with 992 (hPa).

“Point” should of course be “decimal” but I have a feeling there is two syllabus’s (bi?) aughh no English spelling control!) too many for the fast Americans.:cool:

Best regards

(Atmospheric pressure is constanly changing. Change, therefore, should beconstanly noted. The unit of measurement is now called the hectopascal although the old, familiar term milibar slips out occasionally, even from meteorologists.)

Yes, but the “wrong-posters” wouldn’t see it then!

Sorry – No McHorsys here! 😉

Strange thing the internet. I actually met and worked with an F-15 pilot named Bong from Eglin in 1998 when they deployed here. I had to ask. He was in fact a nephew! So typing in “F-15 Eglin Bong” in Google this turned up:

Is this the answer to the National Air and NO Space museum?

May also explain the incredible short lifetimes of Jumo 004 engines (axial). 25 hours total and a full overhaul every 10 hours.

What was the life of early RR Derwents (centrifugal) in the Meteor?

When Eric! Brown ferried Arado Ar 234 from here to Farnborough after the war, German technicians (POW’s) serviced the aircraft. One of the engines blew up running up for take off. “One” had put nuts and bolts in the intake. The offender was soon ferreted out and taken off flight line duties.

I must say that sabotaging German military equipment was terribly risky. Respect – with a modern word!

Roy Nesbit (navigator Beauforts) told of lights shining towards them from blacked out France. “Morsing” V for victory. In Aer*plane many years ago one woman answered: “You really saw us!”

:confused:

Try a web search on “Chemical trails” –

You know the white stuff that looks like contrails above the USA. It is actually the “Government” spraying chemicals.

“Government” is of course the “United Nations”!

(Wish they were as powerful!)
