How many hours do you have now Mike?
Solo before long.

From me, a big thank you for all the teachers who bother to undertake theses tours.

They are so important.

They are, my nephew was 15 when he went on a tour and said he was bored after an hour or so, the guide pointed out that boys his age lied to get into the army and many of them were killed as a result. The penny then dropped and he wasn’t bored anymore!

The photo of the poppy field is special in so many ways.

From the RAFM website
“Since the Dornier emerged from the sands two years ago, the RAF Museum has worked with Wessex Archaeology to complete a full survey of the wreck site in preparation for the aircraft’s recovery and eventual exhibition at Hendon”

I can’t see a reason why it couldn’t have been recovered last year, a large sum of money needed, yes, but is the grand scheme of things not that big.

I’m not 100% in favour of having the Halifax on display, but at least we can tell what it is!! The ‘last surviving’ argument isn’t helped by the Dornier’s condition.

What the RAFM should have done is to recover the Dornier a long time ago. But they didn’t, I’m glad they finally did recover it as it’s still a substantial airframe.

As for the Halifax, I don’t see why it’s an issue for it to be preserved as found.

‘Once the spar crack and massive corrosion was found the engines were removed’

Tons of money must have been spent, if Beslow is correct, or 3 tons of Polyfiller has been bought!

Hi Chris,

The chances of getting a new PC with XP or Vista are nil, it will be pre-loaded with Windows 7 at best or at worst Windows 8.

A few options though, FS2004 doesn’t require a lot of PC ‘power’ to run, have you tried making space on your hard drive?
15% free space absolute minimum is needed, as Windows use the free space on the HHD as memory, I think that might be your problem.
Add extra memory if you can, not cheap as your memory sticks will be obsolete by now. Have you run defrag?

FSX will run on Windows 7 BTW, I would get a PC with W7 and use FSX.
That said I like CFS and the one I think is best is CFS2, newer doesn’t mean better.

If you need any help drop me a line.

Dave.

French by any chance?
