RE: Paris Motor Show.

Too right mate !

Must make enquiries about the eight Griffons currently sitting decomposing on the two Shak’s that are still held at Paphos International a half hours drive up the coast from where I am currently living.

Just think….one for the front room…one for the boat, nah bugger it…three for the boat and to hell with the fuel consumption…and one for a car (open topped, two seater of course !) and the rest just to sit a polish in the evening.

Sigh….Must take my fur lined Anorak off and come back to reallity.

RE: General questions

Yes I also heard that the carrot was originally ‘off-white’ in colour…and all this cafuffle in the media about genetically modified food nowadays, they’re only a few hundred years out again…what a turnip for the books !

RE: Paris Motor Show.

Hi Andrew

Havent been to the Paris Motor show but I did go to ‘Retromobile’ in Paris about 10 years ago. Full of old stuff for cars, bit like Beaulieu in the UK but I did see two things I really really wanted. One was a chuffing great Merlin in as found condition (not from a wreck but mounted on a cradle of some sort and in one peice with all ancillieries (?) attached …bloke wanted 35000.00 FF for it… a little voice in my heart said yes buy it…then a great big loud voice in my cheque book said “no way” and the other thing was a two foot wingspan model of a Mustang (P51…not car version) in Mahogany all polished and looking absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Asked how much in my pigeon French and was told 1000.00FF ! Needless to say, I come home empty handed.

Ho hum

RE: Aircraft Nicknames

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-09-02 AT 04:24 PM (GMT)]Thanks for that Charlie.

Any body know if other aircraft had more than one nickname bestowed upon them dependant on what role they where doing at the time ?

By the way, welcome to the Forum…it’s addictive !

Thanks for the info and piccies guys, thats certainly clarified the exhaust query I had.

Thought it had to be summat simple !

I know the ‘ejector’ exhaust system used on some marks of ‘Spit’ increased the airspeed, but didn’t know about the same on the ‘Mossies’.

Once again

Cheers Guys

Thanks for that guys. It’s the trouble with early mag’s, they dont always tell you the whole story.

RE: Connie update

Cracking piccies…bet the guy on the throttles was busy, adjusting one then running back down the fuselage to see if the engines on one side where in sync with each other, however he did it, it worked. I love seeing multis with the engines all turning at the same time…shows pride and an engineer that cares about his work.

RE: Clipped Wing Invader ?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-09-02 AT 03:05 PM (GMT)]Thanks for the info guys.

The Magazine I scanned this from did not mention anything about the picture, less the type of ‘chute’ in use. In the original photo, in the vegetation behind the Invader are measurement markings.

wonder what it felt like to a standard bomber jock to get upto speed then drop the ‘chute’.

Cheers for the info Lai and welcome to the Forum.

EGNM

hope this works !!…if not find the Surclaro website and enter Ekranoplan in the search area.

I use it in FS2002 Pro and its pretty good…just needs a bit more spray when accelerating and decelerating thats all .

Cheers
