Yes, I enjoyed that!...In those days I heard it referred to as "The Trident Domain"

Ummm, all I got was a blank screen, first thought that photos had been taken at night without flash but then noticed others' had enjoyed them. :-(

Peter, something I always wondered: many (not all) Tridents in those shots have the tail set to negative pitch. Was there a reason for this? It seems odd to have them almost as far away from takeoff trim as you can get. If my memory isn't dodgy, any Tridents I saw at Edinburgh used to be the same (not that I saw them every day).

Nigel,

They are links to Flicker slideshows and may take a little while to load before appearing, there should be a progress bar in the middle of the screen.

Cheers,

I've never studied the tail position but always thought of it as a power off thing :think:

Garry, I always thought that myself :think: along the lines of it drooping when power was removed, but whether it's the case that the 'level' tails are powered and the droopers aren't :think: - but I've certainly seen lots of other shots 'without the droop' so not sure!
