Classic British Flight Sim

Had a trip down to London on Tuesday for some helilanes flying. Here's a few pics.

















I'll hopefully get some more shots soon...

Great shots Tom, that trip was always an annual highlight. Do you get those beasts into Battersea, that was always a bit of fun too.

Went to Northolt, last time we went though we stayed at Bentley Priory and parked her on the pitch outside SHQ. Loved it :dance:

Oh, that explains things in the photos :think: ....its not a Merlin yet then!

Nope, still holding, course starts in June

Great shots. I particularly love the first one, not one for vertigo sufferers!!:lol:

Gorgeous pictures Tom

I feel better now _ I was flying around there in a slightly older whoppity
whop last night in the sim before coming to work - it sort of looked liked that - I have one really silly question from an ex-pat---what is that ugle white thing with the yellow poles that looks like a have erected circus tent??

See how long I have been away - it wasnt there when i was in London 8 years ago (or at least I didnt notice it)

It was probably being built 8 years ago!

Waste of money basically.

waste of money really -- Figures

Bet Chelsea, and Tower and Waterloo Bridges will still be standing long after its gone


Thanks for the link - guess I havnt been paying attention - my version of the UK basically stopped 30 years ago - so now when I return its a totally
foreign country to me. I got lost five times driving from Luton to Hounslow the last time I was home - a trip I used to drive almost daily in the 70s

The recent attempts to turn the Dome into a supercasino turned the spotlight on our beloved Deputy Prime Minister

And then Manchester won anyway.

And I suspect that you will find Hounslow a bit different these days. My mum tells me that as a shopping centre it has gone rapidly downhill.
