Classic British Flight Sim

It also helps (believe it or not) if users fill in the 'Location'. It doesn't have to be your actual address but it's helpful for us to get a general idea where users are from so that our famous 'British' humour isn't inflicted upon them unnecessarily. In short.. if we know a user is from a European country or anywhere other than from the U.K., we're likely to be rather more understanding and cautious of how we respond

Details of where the Dove can be found have already been posted

I'm living proof of that, austerdriver. Although if I soon ask Garry to paint our much loved 1-11 in a Southwest Airlines livery we'll be putting that theory to the test, eh?

Do you understand our swear words Brian??

Garry

jeeze Brian!!!!

You have a deathwish..........now wheres the little avatar in a battle bowler?

Incoming.....

Oh yes and as this Thread is now totally off the rails -- Brian answered my question about what US aircraft flew with a Pobjoy in it (at another unnamed Forum)--- It was one of these......





And Yes Lindbergh bought one for his wife to learn to fly in - but was so impressed with the Pobjoy when he was over in the UK having Miles build his natty little racer that he had the Bird replumbed for a Niagara.

See I kept it Classic and sort of British!!

Leif, what is the aircraft in your post above this?

Its a Bird Biplane -- normally powered by a Kinner k5 radial

But we had been listing the aircraft that had been powered by the Pobjoy Niagara (the beautiful engine in Paul Gs Swallow) and Brian (Flytexas said he thought it was the little biplane that Charles Lindbergh
bought his wife to learn to fly - During the same period he had been in England having Miles Aircraft build this for him



And supposedly he was so impressed with the performance of the Pobjoy Niagara that he bought one and had it fitted to the BIRD.


You know it sort of ruins it when you have to explain the punchline

Anyway AD there you go -- and prehaps one day if everyone are good little chaps you might get to fly the Mohawk in Fs9 :):)

By the way I Like this weather better ----

I thought the plane looked like a Fleet 16B.
