If you go for a GT make sure it is complete! Lots of people by GT’s and although it looks alright they later find it is missing many difficult/impossible to find components and is useless. The Stad is nice but it is absolutely massive and theres not a great deal that can be done with it once you’ve got it. Personally I love eastern block and Russian Engines!

So what is it that makes some films and series engaging and involving while others don’t? Just for reference a film/series I think is involving and makes you feel like your there would be das boot. Is it just the level of accuracy and budget?

I thought it was good and was pleased to see the extra BOB footage, I also thought the interspersing of Geoff Wellums thoughts throughout was very good, pleased to see the story brought to a wider audience!
I didn’t however feel drawn into the story, you build up your own mental picture of what something would be like from accounts and your own knowledge and when something doesnt fit that picture to the same level of detail as you have in your mind it’s a little dissapointing. I’m not totally convinced of the requirment of every good story to be made into a film or series either especially when one is so vivid and well written already.
I also found the scenes to be a bit sparse and staged, for example the scene after the patrol when Kingcome is ‘lost’ seemed a bit too hollow and staged for me; but these are just my own views and thoughts!
Congratulations to them though for doing an admirable job!

not the video I was looking for but a one wing landing none the less

Edit

the video I was looking for!

I remember a trip in a tri-motor at brize when on start up it ripped up half the concrete on one of the remote stands, woops!

Amazing set of photos, congratulations on them. I am very pleased to hear the pilot is relatively ok considering the circumstances. Watching the video is very interesting, there is no doubt he is in an extreme hurry to get down. Wonder what the reason he needed to land so quickly was, pilot incapacitation, control issues or noticed an impending emergency?

as far as I know, the R7 will be at RIAT
(for a long time the first german Messerschmitt over the channel… :diablo:)

but R7 sadly will not be at legends (afaik)

and G10 will have their first flights after repair and new painting
probably in early autumn this yeas…

Is that a photo of its new scheme??

I’ve never seen one, I suppose it has the same operation as an air raid siren??
