Classic British Flight Sim

Went along to Farnborough yesterday in the extreme heat. Here are the best shots...

Note, these are taken with my Canon S1 IS which is only a 3mp camera. I need to save for a DSLR.





































I also have a couple of vids which I'm sorting out now.

Cheers Chris

BTW it really is sort of a brute isnt it?? The Norman Nimrod I meant
When did they start doing the semi gloss grey colour??
The last shot my nephew sent it was in matt gray

Some really cool shots there.

Funnily enough, I was flying the A340 in those colours at Farnbourgh a few weeks back on FS2004.

Chris, even though I have 56k but could not resist having a look, it was well worth the loooong wait!!! The sixth photograph of the A340 as it banks to the left with gear retracting really shows off the size of the aircraft..... brilliant, thanks for the photos.

Regards Nigel.

Great shots. I absolutely love the B1B's bum!

Vids of the A380 here.... (reduced in size & quality)

Thanks for posting those - looks like it gets off the ground quite quickly and similarly lands in quite a short distance (for something of that size)? Looks incredibly sluggish in the air though :shock:

Chris great pictures, I had the chance of going yesterday but I could no one to do my night shift :sad:

Impressive take off.

Thanks CB.

That'll be a 51 Sqn one based out of RAF Waddington, kinda like an RAF EC-135 ELINT i do believe, not sure if the engines are uprated though but last year me and a m8 sat at the north end of the display line and the old girl (with a lot of noise i might add,more than i remember at St Mawgan) was airbourne and climbing for the stars well before she disappeared behind waddingtons hump lol
