Cheers Peter

That little lot was only made private as I had a load of personal shots in there from the VC10 sortie DM and I went on and I didn't want them being half-inched As it happens, I'd not used Photobucket for ages but had cause to use it recently to add the collection of MN ships my dad had served on during WWII. The albums you see (with the exception of the ships) don't contain anything any more and it wasn't my doing I still have all the shots but they're spread over 'X' number of pc's so those collections/albums can never be the same again Good old Photobucket!!

Thank you Dave for that. I just occasionally like watching stuff like this as it gives me tips for when flying Frasier's panels of things to watch for and a good flow to make it seem "realistic" for ATC on panels that aren't as close to the real thing.

As for Photobucket, sadly they start deleting photos if you're not at least logging in on occasion.

I hope you don't mind, but I downloaded the videos to my computer so I can have them in case Photobucket decides to dump them too.

[Garry Russell]

That's news to me ...but I never keep stuff on PB as such... don't delete it but everything is archived elsewhere and just certain stuff put on PB

I'm always puzzled by folks losing stuff when third party sites delete or fail.......they're no archives only a means to publish and personally I'd never entrust my archives to someone else.

[DaveB]

No.. I didn't realise that either, until it was too late. I tried to log on over there and my login details weren't being accepted. I went back through my emails to find the 'welcome to Photobucket' and what I'd been trying to login under was correct. So.. I emailed Photobucket explaining that my login details weren't working and got a reply from them giving me a new link (if I remember correctly). I tried the link and got in first time but my albums were empty.. only the Vanguard videos remained I guess I should be grateful for that really

CT.. no, I don't mind you downloading them at all Should they go missing off Photobucket, I know where I can get copies now!

Hi Dave,

Watching the cockpit videos you provided pointed out to me that my rendition of Vanguard sounds are wrong, so I need to do them again.

What I need to know is which engine(s) had the compressor fitted please?

Nev

[Garry Russell]

Hi Neville

Originally, both inboards... ABC removed them from #2 (I think) on all but the two bloodstock aircraft

The Vanguard was renowned for the "Whine on the Tyne"

[Scorpius]

Thanks for that Gary , I'll do my homework now.

Neville

[DaveB]

Thanks for standing in Garry.. had a busy day!

I think you'll find that BEA removed the compressors off No.2 as part of the Merchantman conversion (weight saving) Nev. ABC retro fitted them to No.2 for those bloodstock carriers as looking through my shots.. they were there on all the aircraft in pax config.. disappeared on the Merchantmen but reappeared in ABC ownership on 2

I've never tried your Vanguard sounds I'm afraid Nev. I find Frasers adaptation pretty darned close to the mark. Were FS able to handle the Vanguards 'dual start' (or someone had found a way around the problem - Brit/CL44) they'd be bang on Always nice to have alternatives mind you
