Moondance – you should take your 300D with you more often 😉 Some nice pics!

Yes I should, but then for ever day with a photo opportunity like this, there are about ten when you see little of interest.

Only down side is it’s a bit too big of a set-up to have in the flight deck. I’ve had some great air-to-air oppportunities recently but a compact cannot do justice to

Too true…..I’ve taken my new 300D to work a couple of times, and excellent though the pictures are, its really just too large to lug around every day (even in a large flightdeck) and the results from my fag packet sized Minolta are still pretty good.

Which aircraft,when and on what occasion?

How about TA634, in transit from Liverpool to Salisbury Hall, 1970ish.

Seeing that overview of an unknown airport

RAF Odiham.

We dont get the 767 🙁 its too big to come in here. Mind you officialy so is an MD80 😉

Different rules apply for the SBAC show?

Better than it did on the 757! Much smoooother 😀

Must be good then, as the 757/767 autobrake seems very smooooth compared with the 732/733 autobrake, which was dreadful….it stopped the jet well enough, but no finesse!

Imagine someone is waving a gun at your family and 400 hundred others etc.

Imagine the SLF attempting to ‘storm’ the flightdeck of a perfectly serviceable aeroplane, with the fuel vent/surge system functioning exactly as it is meant to. What are the crew to think….in the unlikely event that a Sky Marshall is onboard, what would they think or do?
Difficult situation I know, but the SLF are usually spectacularly ignorant of the technical aspects of avaition.

I suppose Chuck and Dobbin’s nuptials in Windsor could affect runway useage on Saturday.
