Well as the saying goes: "We never left anyone up there" so I guess I'm safe

Shocked sir, really shocked. Your not in a 10! But at least it has 4 engines.

You know.. I wonder why he doesn't take the T3's up. Maybe it's because he can only have 4 engines up to FL100 :think:

Really guys....

You know some particular aircraft type catches you eye, and you're lost.

I've always had a good eye on the HP42, ever since I saw it first time....

You all know the story about G-ASGK, so that one is obvious.

Once the Hengist showed up, it kind off ticked something....

I'm not so sure about the "non-riffled" front and back though, was it so or...? Seems a bit too shiny for me. I would have thought that the whole aircraft had riffled plates on? :think:

Dan

I think you will find thats correct the corrugated area was only the center section to give extra strength to haul that minature Forth Bridge
around on its back

Concur Leif

The forward section was metal skinned but the rear fuse and wings tails etc were silver painted doped canvass.

Works fine for me Dan

I know exactly what you mean about certain aircraft though.. you see them and they hit the spot. Difficult to define why but you know it immediately
