    I went inside that at Pontefract park about 20 years ago, a lot better than that trailer with a Nimrod painted on they use now 🙂

    Who will be at Elvington ?

    Edit – Thank you for the pic. Get that on a North Sea ferry and down to Cockpit Fest:)

    richb – Some of the different coloured panels could be interchanged between aircraft but most of the green is anti abrasion.

    Anybody see last weeks QI, there was a story of a U-boat caused to come to the surface when an overflowing toilet reacted with the batteries, filling it with Clorine gas.
    The U-boat was then sunk by an aircraft.
    Its a great program, for all the jokes there is usually hard facts behind them. They did mention names and the number but I can not remember.
    Anybody know this story.

    Turns out it was fishing for Typhoon pilots.
    6 squadron, Coningsby.
    Saw them in the chippy after. I thought they were only fed on super human man pills 🙂

    I will try to upload a pic when I get home. He made some realy good passes for us. Around the bay, castle and harbor. Shame my camera is 😡

    Did somebody once mention on here that the cost in electricity was prohibitive in the operation of the Victor sim or have I just made that up.

    Oh well, plenty more chances.

    Thank you `The Freshest` for pointing out what a complete wolly I am. I took this info from the BBMF website. I now see it is the 2009 display date. Sorry for misleading any one.

    Reds info is correct.
