Classic British Flight Sim

Is there a Shack Mk 2 simmers club? My last update "ShackFix2" has suddenly become more popular, every time I check the downloads seem to go up and its now at an unheard of 653. Wish my Ambassador update would do something similar. Paul You chaps play your cards so close to your chests - ...

We have been promised a good Britannia and a good Heron so I guess we just have to be patient on that front and put up with what we have for now. I just pray their designers don't abandon FS2004 as I have no plans to . . . With some recent arrivals from Jens B K and that lovely little Aerovan I don'...

I have recently been given some pictures taken from a signal box in which I used to work, beside Radlett aerodrome. Sadly, the aerodrome was closed by the time I went there in the early 1970s, but several of these pictures show a military aircraft taking off. Here is a close-up from the nearest view...

Ben, I cannot claim to have the technical knowledge that you do, but may I make a few points? 1.
