BB concerning your last post, you said yourself “TVOC assumed that and indeed hoped that all the airtests would be completed in two flights after first flight”

Bert, to be honest after 7 years and that much money, and having had the project almost go down the tubes several times. anyone would hope for snag free test flights! i certainly would 😉

is there anything constructive in continuously bashing this project? do you have some personal issues with tvoc?

as always i think you will find that “money” is the deciding factor lol 😀

maserati quattroporte 😉 nice hehe

beautiful engines, i want one! lol

that i can remember, first flight was in westland Whirlwind HAR.10 XJ729 early 90’s but it may have been a cherokee (my dad used to take my sister and i with him when he had flying lessons) 🙂

all negativites aside, im currently planning my summer airshow excursions and i was wondering wether waddington, or RIAT would have the best chance of having 558? i cant afford both and i know both are superb days out 🙂

well my dad used to buy flypast an aeroplane magasines that i used to read when i went to visit him when i was younger, coupled with his involvement in the last airworthy westland whirlwind (heli) XJ729 really sparked my interest in aviation, i went to my first ever airshow in 1996 (legends) and i remember the P38 lightning being rolled out for its display, the same aircraft i believe was involved in a tragic accident soon after i believe 🙁 after a spitfire flew over and i heard that wonderful merlin howling as it went over, the goosebumps on my skin said it all, totally obsessed with aircraft from then on!

with regards to this forum, i found it quite by chance whilst searching for information to do with the sad collection at long marston 🙁 im that much of a geek that the historic aviation forum is my homepage and a tab that i always keep open 😀

have you seen the scale one in which you can put a miniature gas turbine??? they look like a real laugh hehe 😀

LOL@ “Vodka Burner” and “We have Smirnoff”

This is another hairy take off apparently due to insects blocking the pitot tube so the pilots were getting false ASI readings. The aircraft took out one of the runway lights too. Just as well the section of fence was already missing or that would have gone too.http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8XbINavHtiA
