    I am thinking of Sean Maffet (Airsound) and he wasn’t there yesterday. I would say he could have done a better job.

    I forgot to add we like Sean thingy who does the commentary sometimes and yesterday’s was perhaps a bit too knowledgeable and talky.

    Also the Guinot commentator – how annoying! I joked I would be sending in an application to Vic Norman this Monday 😀

    Feeling a bit deflated about this. It was the other half’s first time. The weather didn’t help. The atmosphere before the airshow started felt depressed and quiet so was it busier because of Fairford? We should have found a spot early to sit right in front of a barrier or FoDded and sat in their area. Instead because everyone was on their feet, we stood on our feet all day getting tired or herself sat down and missed the flying .

    Red Lion at Whittlesford though did not disappoint. As we were driving down to the M11 junction a solo fighter ran down above the runway into the sun and broke away. Magic.

    Ignore any signs to get off one junction early if coming by motorway

    800×600 pixels is a good ish photo size for forums ideally JPEGs, which are usually a good compressed format.

    You have to remain below Vmo (or Velocity maximum operating), about 290kts indicated will do this for you.
    If you work on Mach No. then you have to remain below Mmo.

    Setting N1 to 80-90% won’t necessarily do this, especially in a descent. The Overspeed warning is speed related, not % N1 related

    Hope this helps

    Ground speed, air speed, true air speed… ? 😉

    Is Wiki correct?

    “19 Squadron received several Spitfires armed with two Hispano 20 mm cannon during the Battle [of Britain]. These were known as the Mk IB, the eight machine gun Mk Is were retrospectively called the Mk Ia”

    I think Imageshack may be currently experiencing “issues” 🙂
