Classic British Flight Sim

Back in 2016 I made a display board for Tangmere based in this booklet. https://i.imgur.com/TxmWIse.jpg Whenever I see anyone standing in front of it trying to do the calculations, I have great fun reminding them that they had to be done at altitude while you and your opponent's aeroplanes were mano...

The least Pete could have done was to be on the boat, drinking Gin, and offering slurred words of support for Christine. ;) Brian I did that on her solo Channel attempt, Brian but never again! Shortly after we set off at crack of sparrow, the weather, which had been forecast on the limits for the s...

Thank you all for your very kind comments - I'll show them to Chris when she gets back tomorrow. I think she'll be very surprised to find herself on a flight sim site! She was interviewed earlier by the local Jersey ITV station and there are some short clips here: https://www.itv.com/news/channel/20...

Thanks very much for posting this Mike. Just one small correction if I may - she started just before 6 am and finished just after 5.30 pm a total time of 11 hours 32 minutes.

Here's here track.

No, I don't either but I do agree with Allan that Iain Blackford is always worth watching. There are buffoons on all sides of the House but this chap is the 'Clown Prince' of them.

Thanks for the kind words, Nigel and I completely agree with your dislike of background music in films. Funnily enough, that's the only one I've ever used it on but then it's the only film of that type I've made. If you do ever get to the south coast, be sure to pay us a visit - unless, of course, y...

Pete: You made that interesting video, did you also do the voice-over? Yes, it's me I'm afraid Mike as are all the commentaries on the various short films spread about the museum. It wasn't my intention that it should be but when I made the first one back in 2006 - "Tangmere's Moonlight Maestr...

Ah, you're too kind but the credit is all Mike's. Our Engineering Special Projects Team do a lot of 3-D printing at the museum and when I showed the film indicator to the head of the team he was genuinely impressed by what Mike had achieved. Coming from him hat's praise indeed I can assure you - you...

You may remember Mike (Airspeed) posting photos of his 3-D printing work on here a while ago. He very kindly sent me a copy of a Film Footage Indicator as used in RAF PR aircraft during the 1940s as a thank you for a (very) small service I had rendered. I was wondering how to make best use of it and...
