Classic British Flight Sim

Leif had already spotted the location. I couldn't think at the time who IKB was (notwithstanding that.. I didn't even notice the bridges!) :roll:

It is indeed over the Menai strait
I thought they were engineered by George Stephenson and Thomas Telford, not Brunel?

Correct Jonesey.. this made the IKB ref even more odd. It worked though cause I'd no idea where it was (not spotting the bridges didn't help)

LOL -- Telford!!! bugger being a clever dick failed again

I always thought the Menai Bridge was Brunel's

Anyway it is a gorgeous screenie -- is that stock FSX scenery?

Leif

Heh as if, this is Horizon's VFR scenery with the 3d object demo that covers a small part of North Wales

A great Spit pic - it looks real!

There's a very interesting lecture transcript by LTC Rolt ( the very great transport historian, and I would recommend his books to anyone interested in transport history) on the connections between all 3 engineers and the bridges at http://www.brunel.ac.uk/about/history/ikb/lecture/

That's a good read

So that village in the top left on the Anglessey side is Llanfairpwllgygyllgogerycwyndrobllllantisilyiogogogoch???

Easy for you to say! ;-)
