Classic British Flight Sim

An eye witness, Keith! Thanks for sharing; there'd be very few of you on this Forum.
There is a short, but worthwhile video here, of the AW 52 flying,
It is followed by an interesting video on why the Harrier is not under further development:

had a very low flutter speed I think because of the double use of longitudinal split ailerons/elevators, so lots of sloppy bearings.....

And resulted in the World's first ejection in ? late 1949 as a result of which the prototype was lost . Fascinating film which I've never seen before


PS Percival Mew Gull

I read that after he ejected, it levelled out and landed of its own accord in a field with little damage.

Be careful ..It was the first British pilot for an emergency ejection using an UK seat. The first emergency was from a Heinkel 280(?) in '43.

Is anyone going to have a crack at the 10th July challenge, or are you fed up with the topic?

For the 10th July

I gave an answer on 11 July - Percival Mew Gull, but no one answered whether it was right or wrong !

Two Sorries Chris.
One, sorry I didn't note your PS.
Two, sorry, it's not a Percival Mew Gull.

Nor is it a MB5, Simon.

But thanks both for trying.

That's a prop from a fs9 model that was ported into fsx with fs9 32 bit prop textures and alpha channels.
