Several years ago this country was designated a Windy Country.
😉
Who was the idiot who voted for that ? I expect there is EU monkey-business going on somewhere. They have messed around with it, and now someone has broken the wind.
They should set the wind back to what it was.
maybe it was a large body of trees 😉
Sorry this might flag up as a new incident, there is no way for me to amend the thread title.
As widely supposed, (another) non intentional spin.
Report here.

A remnant of the TV series hangs on at Luton, the mortal remains of G-AOVS hidden away in the fire dump.
The main flying star G-BRAC was lost in a terrible accident near Boston. Airframe icing was the primary cause.

I hope I’m not breaking any protocol by asking for so much in my first post, but I promise that I’ll reciprocate if I can.

Well, you have asked rather a lot, but but you could smooth over that mild embarrassment by offering us all a flight 😉
Welcome to the forum !

13.00hrs Beech18 heading South East.
That was Tim Darrah, doing a round London trip, from, and returning to White Waltham. The plan was to drop into North Weald, but the main runway was not available, and the cross-runway was rather too out of limits, as it transpired.
Yes it showed up.
Which is obviously more than you did even after your little whinge about it. :rolleyes:
I will consider myself duly rebuked, and if I owe you an explanation for my absence, this is it.
I was allocated a slot to fly in at 10.20, and was pre-flighted and ready to go in time to make that slot. However, with the wind gusting up to 25 knots, I found my 60 year old tail-dragger almost impossible to taxi, and thus elected to stand down, and see if conditions improved.
They did somewhat, but by then the slot was missed, and as you probably know, the pilot’s briefing made it quite clear all visiting aircraft must be on the ground by 11.00.
Apologies again, Hurn that I did not make it.
Well done to all the Vulcan team. I would have loved to have seen it.
So, did it show ?
[QUOTE=DazDaMan;1741319]Always liked the P-2 🙂
Got up close and personal to G-BLKZ at Booker when she was part of the Blue Max Movie Museum collection there (having appeared as a “Messerschmitt” in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade).

Daz, you seem to have forgotten that it is a replica, as outlined to you in this very comprehensive explanation. 😉
The Vulcan is (now) a VFR aeroplane.
The problem is that tomorrow we are looking at an IFR forecast…….:(
G-ATBG was shot down in Kent a couple of years ago.
Well, a forced landing at Headcorn anyway.
The Beech is nesting at White Waltham for a while.
