Classic British Flight Sim

A selection from a very wet Bruntingthorpe today.

Nice pics Tweek.

I really like the back end of the Lightning :dance:

Just wish i could have been there :sad:

Very nice Tweek

Wet it may have been but the spay just ads to the effect.......and no doubt the experience and makes this one a day to remember

Certainly! It's just not nice having to stand around in clothes that aren't waterproof.

Niiiiiiiice

Lovely. Nice to see Canopus stretching her legs

Some nice photos there.

Thanks for sharing.

Great shots Tweek. Today was my first visit to Bruntingthorpe and I had a great day despite the weather. I don’t think it every actually stop raining, but as Garry correctly points out seeing these classics roar off down a rain soaked runway only added to the already impressive spectacle. :dance:

The other advance of a rain soak runway was that it gave the Hunter the edge in the drag race against the BMW coupe. Thrust 1 – Tyre traction 0 (but it was close!!).

. . . . And then there was the Lightning. Holy Sh*t!!! :shock: , being so very close to a Lightning with reheat engaged is something I’ll never forget. I image that’s what an earth quake feels like, certainly my rib cage has only just about stopped rattling. Awesome. However for the sake of my ear drums I may leave it a while until I watch another Lightning fast taxi . . . . or perhaps just until the QRA open day on 22nd of July!!!

Very, very nice pics indeed Tweek. Garry and others summed it up nicely so I won't repeat it, but thanks for putting them up. Did they fast taxi the Canberra too, or just give her a gentle run around?

Glad you liked them!
