Re: VC10 ZA150 to Fly Again?

If they put her on the US register in the experimental category then they won't need a design authority. Have a look at what this company is operating: http://www.atacusa.com/index.html

Re: How to change a wheel

Very brave act, but the fact that it was filmed from so many directions does reek of a stunt instead of a real emergency. ;)

Re: Sad News If True

The Rescue and Relocation project is trying to pull the funds together to move G-ASGM/ZD241 to another location. A few notes: the Lightnings and the Walton-owned aircraft will stay at a new site next to the Q-shed. No more taxi runs though. The promise not to scrap anything sounds nice, but doesn’t ...

Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO VC-10 AIRCRAFT!!

Keep an eye on the stock at the Aviation Bookshop: https://www.aviation-bookshop.com/ Simon usually has loads of secondhand books as well and he used to send out a list of secondhand stuff available a few times a year.

Edit: I see that he has one copy left of the VC10 Haynes manual, on sale at £10!

Re: Flying to Australia in a tiger moth, for real

A real shame. There appears to be some movement in the India-Pakistan standoff, but this is limited to commercial air transport only: https://ops.group/blog/pakistan-india/
Apart from the range issue, a Tiger will not reach FL250. At least, not on its own.
