Classic British Flight Sim

Atlas carrying the Electra...

That's me standing at the front. Anyone recognise the ship? It was 1982 at Southampton.



...and this is me in about 1974.

No recent pictures that would be acceptable on a family-oriented forum like this!

Not an expert on ships, BUt... Is it an RFA ship?

G-AZCX went to Switzeralnd in February 1972

That might help you to eliminate

So it was only UK for six months

So Nigel was that summer 1971?

That is a standard factory livery so there would be many look alikes

Garry

But I didn't read it properly

It's G-AZCK not X :redface:

Thanks to Ian Hind for pointing that out.

It seems to still be still current

So Tonks perhaps you flew it after all

Sorry Nigel :sad:

Garry

Jonesy, I have a hat just like that! I don't have a plane like that though unfortunately.

SS Canbera?

No prob Gary as I had also mis-read the reg when first posted, seems to be a common thing known as age!!!

Tonks, do believe we have something in common after all....... except you flew it solo!!!

Just out of interest Tonks are you a Yellow Belly?

(To those who think this is the start of name calling session a Yellow Belly is the term given to those natives who are Lincolnshire born and bred).

Dunno about that Nigel.. I thought he came from the Midlands (Lichfield) but you never know

ATB

DaveB :tab:

Thanks Dave,

Only asked as it appeared from his post that he flew from Wickenby. Unless of course I've got my wires crossed!!

Nice photo Jonesey, but before I looked properly, I thought you were holding a bird of prey, then I realised it was the picture on your t-shirt.
