Classic British Flight Sim

Ooooh! Dan! Don't the old girl look lovely by moonlight. Lovely atmospheric piccys.

I'm a bit worried about the last shot but one. Looks like you might have left a bit of rubber on the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley.

What were you doing, man? Trying to frighten the lions?

It's a male thing. And you have to fight it! Women use this weakness to their own end. They cultivate it and encourage it because it makes us harmless and then they have the power. Recognise it when it happens and walk away :lol: This is how it ends........ there's an elderly, badge-bedecked freight...

No moaning punters, no frantic dispatchers, no urgent deadlines. Freighters were fun in the 70s! There was even a steward to cook, serve and stock up the duty free bar!
