Classic British Flight Sim

For anyone that hasnt yet seen it, it is impressively large as hopefully the last picture with the people in the shot shows. Its also pretty quiet for something of its size and I was amazed at how tightly it can turn.



















Simply fantastic to finally see this fly, well worth the money and work thats gone into it and I think the reason why there were 80,000 people at Farnborough today. That to me proves how popular this aircraft is.


I was impressed by everything the Russians had on display indoors, I wish them some success with this aircraft the full scale version of which flew in May


A350XWB looking suspiciously ever more 787-like!


Twin seat Vampire is one of my personal favourites








G-APSA now seemingly in British Eagle rather than KLM colours - anyone know why?


Spitfire accompanying the BBMF Lancaster and Hurricane


Nice to see the Sea Hawk


I was looking for the Radio Control TX for this one!

I had a quick look on a.net and it seems to have been repainted over the winter. It is the Air Atlantique one from Conventry (just down the road from me). I could understand them doing it in KLM last year as I guess that was sponsored but was surprised to see it in British Eagle.

I had a look at your pics, I reckon you must have been standing not far from me when the Vulcan was flying?

Awesome shots, Toby!

Many thanks.

A couple of the A380 shots look a little too 'sharpened' Toby but a nice selection all the same. Love 558 just starting the climb with heat haze.. Classic Vulcan

BTW.. what's a 350! :o

The announced at the end of last season that 'PSA was going into Eagle but they put up a pic of it's delivery livery to show how it would look...... which was not like that at all.

Infact the pic they showed was Eagle Airways.

My 100-300 has a focussing problem (either that or just isnt sharp!). So I may have overcompensated as a result. The previous time I had the use of a colleague's 70-200L IS which is inherantly much faster to focus and much sharper.

...Oh and the A350XWB (eXtra Wide Body) will be the successor to the A300/A310/330 twins. Broadly similar in concept to the Boeing 787.
