Please note that human survival is far greater than that of an airframe. I was just stating it as an observation as a few folks would not realise it.
Cirrus incident I alluded to above

Couple of pictures

There has been just one case in the UK of the BRS being activated. Good system. People survive but drawback is the need for a new aeroplane.

Got a few pictures of various Cirrus aircraft (including M-,G-, S5- and of course N plated ones). The finish good. They aren’t so easy to move by hand on the ground as the areas you can actually push against are limited and often not marked. You cannot use the wing tips to manoeuvre them for example.

Not keen on the exhaust on them – quite a horrid noise.

Fantastic news gentlemen.
Keep up the fantastic work.

As much as I love Vintage & Classic aircraft I have to say I like the angular scheme – somewhat different to say the least!

First airliner I ever flew in was a Lufthansa 727 from LHR to Nurnberg…

Vee One. I used to go with my Dad from the 1970’s very regularly. Used to visit my Nan and on the Saturday morning we’d jump on a number 140 bus and with our packed lunch and flask watch the planes all day…
You remember the mustang model on a pole in a garden visible from the QB? I wonder what happened to that?
When we used to go see my other Nan (Maternal) it was a trip to Luton!! Used to get all sorts of gems in there…

Oh my! – what happy memories… Thank you, thank you, thank you…
Used to spend a lot of time at LIA and LHR. Remember the G-MONx series aircraft coming on-line and being used and the childhood pleasure at the time of “copping” a new one.
Same watching the then “new” Britannia colours being rolled out across the fleet. Would loved to have seen one of their 737-200’s preserved as they were so much of the scene for people’s holidays all those years ago…
I miss the Queen’s Building too… Especially as over the years they gradually reduced the area you could go in then did away with it.

Nice selection of shots there.
Interesting to see how the pilots of the Buchons are craining their necks to see over the nose in the shots.

I hope you didn’t approach that from the diagonal…

From crescent to whole… (OK it is the sun and not the moon but,..)
