I remember the documentary about these coming across for the filming, quite interesting if I remember correctly. There was a section where they were in a formation to fleetwwod mac albatross, quite nice viewing, I’d like to see it again sometime.

Every now and then a gem like this turns up, fantastic, they look like they could have been taken yesterday.

These as a find are like the B17’s that Moggy put on here a couple of months ago.

Check out the internet regarding making a DVD player multiregion. Many of them can be done via the remote and a specific keystroke, rather than being chipped. Panasonic cannot though.

My wife comes flying with me all the time, she loves it, providing I am taking her somewhere exciting!!!

Hueys were never piston engined.

I wish you luck. I for one hope that this can be done, there are too few of this type left now. The time has come to apply some sense to the Salt Treaty as there is no way that these aircraft can be put back into service now, and given that the borders between us and Russia are now down the inspection of these is not simply the realm of satelites anymore, they can be inspected easily on the ground.

The RN RAF Phantoms are specific to the UK, and should be preserved where possible, I appreciate that some of the equipment maybe common, but out of what is left, what of this equipment is actually useable on any other Phantoms that are left in Service anyway.

The tomb is a fantastic aircraft, and is so indicative of the second half of the 20th century, from a Cold War perspective and the free worlds fight against communism and so is as worthy of display as aircraft from earlier parts of the century.

And it just looks so powerful!!

Was this the show where a German Marine Tornado got very close to the sound barrier, I do remember going to Brawdy about then and seeing the aforementioned. I took a couple of pics including the tornado, it had a superb compression cloud around it and subsequently that flyby pic (not mine but someones who must have been close by) appeared on the cover of a book about the soundbarrier.

The venturi needs air through it, so facing it into wind will start it to operate. They need time rather than speed of airflow running through them, of course airflow is critical. However, in order for an vacuum instruments to operate correctly and reliably you need to spin the Gyros inside the instrument to their correct RPM, these are quite high and with a venturi system can take some minutes (rather than airspeed) to get to operating speed.
