    Interesting how the cowling is different between CO and VB. CO has a C90 whilst VB has an O-200. Presumably CO’s is a faux cowl to make it look like a straight?

    These from the CAA register website:

    Actually in the last few days this has sort of been happening to me. I think I’m not getting 75% of the ones I should *at all*.

    Moggy, given our common instruction (which was very good) I would have thought you would be a pro at landing? :p

    Haven’t done a census for a while. Think SV was retired? I recall as a wee sprog that SV had her port wing replaced in ’85; the original was still in the AA hangar last year.

    Love this film. Can’t go without saying a stern “Johnny!”, played by Anthony Hopkins.

    Speaking of CGI, Bridge Too Far shows up Band of Brothers for Daks. Former is real, latter is CGI. Which one looks better? Bridge Too Far of course! 😎

    There once was an amusing post on pprune not so long ago where the author described a tragic incident nr S****horpe, making frequent references to S****horpe. Half of it therefore got censored and given the incident circumstances, shouldn’t have been funny but the censorship turned it around to a farce. 🙂
