Great Thread! good to see so many on display in the UK.
I will have a look through my log book and see if I have operated any of the preserved examples
There were some un-openned seats on ebay recently.

Oh yes I remember it well. An Air Anglia DC3 G-AGJV out of Greenham Common July 1974. Anyone know what happened to her?

I was on board her that weekend as well!

What a weekend – a flight in a Dak and an ogle at the KC97 in the static park!

And me also!!

Very true but this is the only way I get to fly Javelins, Gannets, Lightnings and other splendid toys.

Try it with Combat Flight Simulator, it is great fun turning up for a WWII bombing mission with a B52 or A10 Warthog

Better still is using a Lightning for strafing missions, and Airwolf for ground attack! confuses the hell out if the FW190s and BF109s

anyhoo….back to the thread 😉

A good underhand lob ought to do it. Frantic fluttering and a loud plop will alert you to an aborted launch.

Or that it was pointing the wrong way

When i first had my PPL, I was still at school and very poor, so I would wait until I had 6 weeks left on my 13 months and then do my 5 hours over a few weekends, starting with a check-ride with an instructor
