I used to get fed up with seeing it up from Hatfield-i never did find out what they were using it for, but i’d give my right arm to see it flying over now!

Fantastic! Must get a visit in soon, seeing as I only live 2 miles away:p

Cheers, Huw:)

…In Welwyn Garden City-Britain’s answer to Las Vegas!

Great news!- got to get there soon, too!- about 5 miles away!

Going to be a great day!-Eric Brown must have some amazing tales to tell!

Intriguing, Daz!-does Seafire XVII SX336 count??

Thanks!!-awesome Aero (space!) plane-i remember Bill Dana saying in an interview that it would go from mach 5 to 6 in 8 seconds!!-what a ride that must’ve been!

I’m always watching films for aeronautical howlers. You can bet my family loves me, with comments like that is the wrong aircraft for the period etc.. But one that always stands out a mile is Con-Air. The obvious one is the TARDIS like interior of the C-123. But i love it when Nick Cage comes face to face withe John Cusak after the shoot out with the Columbians and you see a face appear at what is obviously a Learjet cockpit window which then turns into a Rockwell Saberliner!!
Oh and talking of C-123’s in Die Hard 2 do they have ejector seats in C-123’s?

C-123s have piston engines, too!
