    Ah, yes, now I read it again I see that your original post did indeed make it most clear that the details were now online.

    My second thought on seeing a Yak-52TD was that it was going to be a lot easier to get into and out of πŸ™‚

    Smiler Marshall lived next door to my parents. He was often to be found out and about with his ‘minder’ as my mother called him. A couple of summers back my parents were hosting a party, obviously everybody must have been enjoying themselves as Smiler arrived to see what all the noise was about! ‘It’s alright Albert, there’s no Germans here’ was his minder’s leaving remark!

    RIP Smiler.

    Sorry about the poor picture wrong place wrong time!

    It’s better than I managed … despite apparently successfully writing the images onto the CF card (I powered the camera back up again after the shoot and quickly reviewed them), when I put it into the PC it was blank, save for the readme that I leave on the card πŸ™

    It (the VC-10, that is!) sounded good though.

    Just in case anyone believes their instructor to be really cool customers, it is worth noting that they are trained to only sweat on the right side of their faces!

    Ah, so the scarf that Tiger Moth instructors wear is not to keep the wind away, but to hide the sweat …

    Little Gransden:

    Has anyone ever bought fuel from what used to be my favourite airfield, until yesterday.
    Has anyone ever landed there and been refused fuel?

    What’s happened at LG then?

    I’ve always understood that it’s to maintain the ‘balance’ of the face, which you don’t get with IV. That’s certainly what I’ve been told by various horologists.

    I hope it’s not a stall close to the ground. I always avoid those when I’m flying.

    I know you always hold your head high, but how do you get down then?
