Well I had planned Barbados and back in Concorde today, first trip, at about 500 feet on approach to Adams, FS threw a wobbly, reset the fuel in half the tanks (putting CofG way out of limits) and caused a disconnect with FSAirlines, so it duly cancelled the flight!
Second attempt, half way there I accidentally pushed my PC chair in and the leg pressed against the OFF switch, 5 seconds later, total shutdown.
I will not have time to fly the trip again (I go back to work tomorrow) so I guess I am going to get a penalty for not flying a booked flight.
Still on the plus side I flew an Archer to Doncaster yesterday in fairly awful weather, there is a kind of satisfaction to hand flying an ILS down to below 500', photo attached of Emley Moor mast from 3,500 fet.

Hello Mate
Yup.. that's definitely mucky weather!! Nice shot though
Re a penalty.. when this sort of thing happens and a flight 'times out'.. the only penalty is financial to the pilot, the airline takes no hit
