Love the photos.
I think the airshows stopped in the 90’s? I could be wrong.
Sadly I only moved to Cornwall in 2000 and I believe the airshows had stopped by then. During my 7yrs in Cornwall I did make a visit with my flying club at the time to meet the Air traffic controllers there in 2004. They were a nice bunch.. I may also add the ATC who was on during my Qualifying Cross Country was a nice, helpful guy too. 😎
Excellent. 😎
Hi,
I’ve flown the C150, 152 and C172 and i’ve got to say the difference between the 150 and 152 isnt really noticable. They’re pretty much the same flying characteristically really. I’m currently hour building on the 150 and 150 aerobat and i’m happy.
I like it. 😎
Thanks for the info regarding the use of the radio altimeter with the autopilot/thrust. I’m only used to working with a barometric altimeter. 🙂
Hmm I never post anything on forums about crashes until the AAIB has done their bit as I never like to speculate however one of the things I thought of was that the altimeter could of been part of the problem because the crews, as far as I know, never made a ‘brace for impact’ call to passengers suggesting they may not of even been aware of the problem.
I suppose with the altimeter being faulty, combined with 2 mile visibility it would of made the crews job harder. Visibility always looks worse when you’re higher up than it does on the surface. I wonder what the fault was exactly with the altimeter, incorrect QNH or an actual altimeter fault?
haha 😀
Nice! Always good to see a VC10 and TriStar.
Great, something for everyone there. 😎
Wow lovely stuff! A good selection of old and new. 😎
I guess the dodgy approaches suggests a low hour student 😀
Newforest, I also noticed there was no impending change of ownership – so I guess she still flies under cabair. 🙂
I thought I heard that they would be getting a new livery when their merger was confirmed.
I could of misheard it though. 🙂
Nice! I like N666MX.
Nice!
I hope those 146’s find homes soon.
Do you know is EXXO still with cabair? I noticed the cabair tail logo missing! Wish it would visit cranfield sometime when I fly so I can get a photo.
