Classic British Flight Sim

Hi,

After years of peaceful rest the Lancaster was savaged by a careless child with a webcam. :shock: :sad:





How are the mighty fallen :crying:

Long may she RIP.

One would hope the necessary and correct action on said child has been taken Don't ya hate it when that happens :sad:

I hate that happening.Have a word with Air Atlantique Classic fleet to get an estimate for repair!I believe they have some experience with Lancs.ATB EricT

Hi,

Thanks for the sympathy guys. Restoration is planned but due to its age I expect other bits to fall off in the process

As to a restore to flying condition, the last time one of my kits flew was when I was about 12 when, stuffed with paraffing soaked tissue, it was lit and flown from the bathroom window :shock: :shock:

I was young and reckless then, now just reckless .

Degsy, you are not alone, when I was around that age I tried the very same thing but with paint thinners, at the side of our house I was going to just burn a bit of the wing and engine to give that realistic crash landing look for my display when not only the whole aircraft (Lancaster) caught fire but so did the bl**dy fence!! :shock: Don't know to this day why I didn't just use a match on the plastic to do it instead!!

After frantically running in and out of the house with a bucket of water managed to put it out, can never understand why my parents never asked about the scorch marks!!!!!
