Re: Cold and wet in York
There's this one of course.... Halifax_Hendon.jpg YAM is a great museum, I visited in 2013 but I'm sure it's only improved since! I keep track of WS788's ongoing restoration on UKAR , it's worth a look if you haven't done so already. They have really spruced up that Meteor since the photo above was ...

Re: Some "inside information"
Suits you!
Just be careful with the instrument face, make sure it does not contain any dodgy paint.

Re: Notebook, laptop or not sure?
I'm not a big fan of the idea of a Chromebook, as you're locked into the Google ecosystem with those things and it can only run stuff through a browser... or something like that. If it's only for browsing, videos and such, you could consider a MacBook Air as they are very light, easy to use and very...

Re: PC Dying
I'm a bit late to this party... but just to add my two cents: - The question here is whether you're seeing a hardware issue (components dying, bad cooling, etc) or a software issue (non-normal allocation of threads/tasks). - If your CPU is still getting warm, or hot, under load you could try a reins...

Re: ATC question - real world
Thanks for the ILS plate. I did a bit of searching myself and the current ILS approach is very similar. The RNP variant is like this: RNP24_EGNT.jpg I suspect that the first one was getting vectors from ATC and they used this routing for some specific reason that is only known to the controller. It ...

Re: ATC question - real world
There is a bit about holding entries here: https://severevfr.com/technique/how-to-enter-a-hold/ It could be a version of a teardrop or offset entry, or perhaps they were initially still under radar vectors before being told to join the hold. They may have been close to the dividing line between a di...

Re: I Want One!!
Bally's bomber has been around for a while now. I wonder who owns it these days?

Re: Newark Air Museum
Many aircraft instruments have some radioactive paint in them. This was never a real issue while in service as the health issues were not recognised back then. Sometime in the 90s (I could be wrong here) this was recognised and many museums had to put restrictions in place to deal with potential haz...
