VH-KDK Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Dorothy from L Frank Baum's Wonderful Wizard of Oz said "there in no place like home." I agree with her as despite having a pretty good holiday it is nice to get back to Mooroopna amongst familiar surroundings. While going through my many emails I saw that JF has released the BAC 1-11 and being on a special introductory price I could not resist. 1. Shock horror, it is not a CTRL+E start. 2. A very easy follow blow by blow guide in the manual make it a breeze to start. Written down all the starting procedures to make it easy for the next flight. 3. G-AVOF is at home too as it was built at the BAC factory here in Bournemouth in the 1960s 4. Taking off from rwy 26 it is a real 1-11 without the Hush Kits. 5. Noisy and smoky a typical 60s jet. 6. Climbing away over Parley and the River Stour, a great place to catch Pike. 7. A beautiful plane to fly with a very decent sound set which is a nice change for JF, well done. 8. Accelerating away and leaving some skid marks in the clouds. 9. Love it, now I will have to make the effort to actually use the nav aids. Hope you enjoyed the shots.

andy1252 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hi Martyn, and great shots! But I have to say, I was expecting something more along the lines of "we're not in Kansas anymore" <grin> (and did you have a good trip?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cox Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Yep Martyn, several of us beta testers broke the code first up trying to be lazy. I think that from now on you will find that most new JF aircraft will be a by the book start procedure. The just released Gloster Meteor is the same. Great shots too but not real impressed with dirtying the clouds with black skid marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems Pat, the tutorial is first class and easy to follw and I quite enjoyed going through the correct procedure for a change. 16 hours ago, Voyager said: Nostalgic times that built our modernity.

Shall look at the SQ schedules when we go next year . Many thanks for your comments and interest. A great plane from JF, the trouble is that I have also brought GEN and I am very eager to explore as much as I can as I am enjoying it so much, so the 1-11 will have to wait for a while as it takes time to wind up.!

A common sight for me when we lived close to BAC's test airfield at Wisley and then when we moved to Bournemouth in 1966 where the One- Eleven was built. Probably why I have a soft spot for this plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
