They’ll be AI aircraft (non-playable). There are freeware versions of the PA 28 available.

Great idea and well executed… however it does contain one of my pet hates: the tail flash is back to front. (I’m not knocking it – its a great concept!)

My other hate is when one of my engineering students sees any RAF aircraft (we have a JP), looks at the fin and says ‘Is it French?…’

Well done Brummies – more of the same in other cities with a solid aviation link please.

I agree… plenty of qualifications and experience will get you the job. Many years ago, I asked TFC at Duxford for advice in getting into the historic aviation engineering industry – the advice they gave was that I should volunteer at a local museum for hands on experience of restorations, followed by a good education in a relevant subject.

I found myself in a position to work in historic engineering after nearly 15 years of hard graft and found that it was decidedly overrated. Illusion ruined. (I was NOT working for TFC). I now find that I couldn’t move close to Duxford anyway and I’m now teaching my specialist subject while developing my own interests in historic aviation.

Don’t give up on the dream, BUT don’t expect the reality to live up to your expectations after you have strived to get there.

Next question.. how do you pronounce ‘Kraguj’.?.. Is it Kragu or Kragooch?

The Sea King is still poorly outside the Academy at NIA…

I was there today (first time in 7 years!) and she looks brilliant. No rabbit mission markings though!

Years ago we talked about putting Lindy into the Victor prototype colours… now that would look nice – black, silver, red stripe…. (whilst being 100% unauthentic for a K2..:P). So there’s one for after the pink fades.

We had the Blue Circle fit on 3’s too, although limited to ballast when the radar was out being serviced…….which was often…. I don’t recall the F3s flying with the concrete lumpby the end of the 90’s. That said, I was a rigger….
