Yet another question BEx………………..where can i find missions or tests to carry out, the youngster wants to bomb runways etc etc, by the way, i bought a joystick today, and WOW they really transform the SIM dont they. Thanks
ill download another one and try that, just joined the SIMVIATION site, its a great resource, Once again bex, thanks for helping me out!! 😉
done that bex. and still wont lift off. im using the DAMBUSTERS lanc, if that makes any difference. as i pull back, it lifts a little, then bounes down again. i have also tried reducing the payload, and fuel……………….any ideas :confused:
thanks again, real sorry to be a pain in the proverbial, but i cant get the aircraft to take off, i get the engines upto full speed. and get right to the end of the runwway (manchester) and it wont lift 🙁 any suggestions
thanks for that (again) bex. ive just got the lacaster downloaded and into the FS, but i can only get the L/H wing engines started, any ideas 😮 😮
Thanks mate, thats a real invaluable insight into the VFORCE, ill stop pestering you now;)
great info, i guess he was exagerating for TV purposes. I hope you dont mind me firing these questions at you, Did you have any dealings with the ECM onboard the VULCAN, One documentory describes having to give 24hrs warning of operating certain ECM, as it knocked out TV reception across a certain area. And yet another question, during your service on the V FORCE what type of weapons were the aircraft armed with. Nuclear dropped/stand off or other types of weapon, seeing as the Detterent had switched to submarines in 69. (again anohter fact learned form the TV so apologies if its pie in the sky)
Sorry to bombard you but its a real treat to be able to ask questions to someone who has actually got the T shirt etc etc, so thanks again 🙂
FASCINATING info, thanks for sharing that, if i may trouble you with another question, what lengths of time did spend fully suited up. ie was if for the whole shift, and if so how long was that. in an interview on the return to the skies docu shown on sky. an electronics officer recalls difficulty in sleeping in what amounts to a 3 layered suit with some sort of cooling system built in and connectors everywhere 😮 …………..
Yes, i think the VALIENT footage may be on the CLASSIC BRITISH JETS : THE VALIENT. dvd, which fingers crossed is in the post. Is the cosford valient the actual one that dropped the ATOMIC BOMB. we saw it last week when we visited…………standing under the VFORCE aircraft is a real eye-opener. thanks for the info!!

We sat there for ages, whilst i messed about with my new camera, trying to get the best exp of 603 at that distance, tripod out and everything, they even waved at us when they came closer,

Do you often get up to Woodford, and if so what other Aircraft can be seen There regularly, or is it pretty much light aircraft :confused:
Visited today (9th Sept) and took the same shot everybody else takes,
but 603 had a visitor, I assumed it was one of the Nimrods being fitted out at woodford. Not sure if we were supposed to photograph it (as i believe cameras are STRICTLY not allowed on site), but they towed the aircraft right up to us and waved, as they turned onto the runway and took it into the factory complex……………Having not seen a Nimrod (please excuse my newbie status) , i cant help thinking they borrowed the design from a tacky low budget “B” movie they use to show on BBC2 on saturday mornings :rolleyes:
i have seen that on UTUBE, and isnt is just awsome, now thats one piece of film i would like to see on DVD.:D
Great info, thanks 😉
Thanks for the advice Bex, most appreciated 🙂
good advice, do you mean MS flight simulator 2004 version 😉
