The ILS Approach...

When I just want to do a bit of local flying, I enjoy using the autopilot to fly ILS circuits in whatever weather is really present. I engage the autopilot just after take-off and then have very little to do...This enables me to pop out into Spot view with my camera and enjoy the scenery to the full...On this particular sequence I also recorded the flight with the "Recorder" module, so I can watch it again any time I wish.
Nothing British but the full sequence can be seen here:-

Did you use to pop outside with the camera much when you flew for BEA? :roll:

You can tell from the photo that he has real pride for his aeroplane
Looks nice and clean too... a bit of polish before the flight?

James,
The runway is only 5600 feet long and those B727s need ALL of it :roll:

Jonesey,
I don't remember them being as dirty as some models...perhaps I just didn't notice, but I remember them as clean and shiny
