Classic British Flight Sim

Just look at that panel shot. Looks like she was built yesterday!

Yes indeed. Peter commented that it looked better than when in service TonyA will have seen it like that mind you

Peter did say yesterday (but 24hrs is a long time) how many times he flew ZK and it was a lot.. definately in excess of 100 which, is a lot whichever way you do the maths

Quality pics there, looks like the old girl had a grand opening! :dance:
Going to have to pop down myself to take a picture for some wallpaper for my desktop.
Does the shop there sell any Trident models?

Regards,
James.

Hi James,

The shop does sell the little 1:400 scale Gemini models which includes the Trident but not 'ZK' as that is a collectors model restricted to 600 units. Go there armed with £25 in cash and Neil will be pleased to sell you a Gemini 'ZK' on the aircraft itself though :dance: He didn't have any certificates onboard on Monday but will forward one to your home address when he does

It was 127 times for ZK Dave ...well I would just like to say how much I enjoyed my visit and how much I admire the incredible work done by Neil Lomax and team. The results of this labour are absolutely beyond belief and outstanding in all respects. I found the visit enchanting and can't stop thinking about it.

It was very nice to meet you DaveB after all this time and quite disorientating to find that DaveM looks nothing like Lord Lucan

Toby, I've replied by email but I would like to thank you again for that great picture of me in the seat. DaveB I look forward to receiving some from you...I won't post any of my pics here as yours are all superior...In fact I'm just going to copy all yours into my "Zulu Kilo" folder.

Thanks again for a great day chaps...Sorry to miss Jonesey :dance:

No Dave I didn't dispatch that aircraft, I think that's done by Menzies Handling.

So Neil, after your triumph with ZK, what's next in line as a project?

It's a stunning restoration - and a triumph for persistence and hard work what more can any of us say?

rigth ....
the only Loadofsheet peter got was when them
blokes pulled him from the flight deck.


:doho:

BTW Peter , you know Toby mentioned the same thing about Dm and that he didn;t look like the pic in the forum

Well I wouldnn;t have thought so anyways....
I mean he's quite a bit older now .....
:roll:

I did with the tash...


Bet most of the younger ones don't know of Lord Lucan. :think: (like most of the older ones probably don't know Butthead)
Some good advice... If you ever see anyone who does look like my avatar (but a lot older now), take a picture & phone the newspapers. They may give you a lot of money for it.

Airboatr,

I was saying to DaveM...The trouble with these Avatars is that after a while you get to imagine the bloke you are posting to really looks like that. I've been imagining him to look like that for so long now that when Dave was standing next to me I didn't know who he was till introduced.

Naturally, I don't really apply it to your whirling cogs but the chances of me finding myself standing next to them are about the same as standing next to Lord Lucan

I think I might just make a new Avatar for myself from one of these excellent shots that the guys have produced :think:
