Re: Anybody smell smoke?
Obviously to trained firefighters, there's a wealth of difference between "tending" and "acting", but to mere mortals, who did not even realize that this was a test, it appeared that things were being let go, following a widespread brake or bearing overheat. The precise meaning o...

Re: Anybody smell smoke?
I think I'd cack myself too! Fire is one of the few things which petrify (and strangely, fascinate) me. The tyres go with quite a pop don't they! (I don't know why I read this topic so quickly, must be the title and the fact I'm 4 days into giving up the fags!!) Well (Mr) Otter, being one of the ki...

Re: Cumbernauld Xtreme
The Horizon VFR has been promising a full Scotland for years. If the decide to go for Hi-res like the 'Isles', it will probably cost over 100 quid to cover, which will be silly. I never fly north of the border now (I hate FSX UK default scenery) and would love to see the Highlands in VFR. Hi Trev, ...

Re: BAC One-Eleven
I read these posts with a deal of interest. 747 is obviously a casual or new visitor (2 posts). He/she very likely does not have English as his first language, (mis-spelt "the" as "teh", but this could have been a finger slip, as few folks seem to check their spelling these days,...

Re: An amazing man
Yes, I've actually seen a longer talk by this fellow; you can't watch him without doing a reality check on your own situation. Powerful stuff.

Re: Leif Harding
You meet on line, you start to reach out, then they're gone. I never touched Leif, but I feel a space where he was.
Heartfelt condolences to Leif's family. He will be remembered.
