Jack Sawyer Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 As requested by @jjaycee1 I flew from EGBS, Shobdon to EGHA, Compton Abbas. At Compton I saw the dreaded hole in the ground but after searching I found Nick's .bgl.Off trick so I'm going to test it out. Also, I didn't know there was a problem at Popham so I go there after that. Anyway, a dreary fall, close-to-winter UK day and it was very rainy and windy.

Dadtom65 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hi Jack. Check out Lee on the Solent airfield. That was my local airport used by the navy until it closed and now used by a flying club and gliding club and local businesses. We used to live on the north side, we had a football sized green in front of us, great for the kids to play on and then the airfield. All so great every year for air shows. We used to watch upstairs as we had windows that opened right up. As they say happy days. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's reality is too lousy. 43 minutes ago, gregmorin said: Jack, An inverted yellow 310 Songbird, what would Sky King have said? Greg Hi Greg, what would they have said?

gregmorin Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Jack Just remember, Bob used to shut the engines down then do rolls in his Shrike. Have you tried that yet? Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried that yet? Greg Not yet Greg but don't gimme any ideas! I might try it in a 747. A good friend of mine in the UK is a real 737 pilot instructor and as part of his final testing recently he had to shut down both engines at altitude and dead stick it into LOWI. Real life stuff. He passed, he said he never knew how easy it was to do in a real simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Some very English late Autumn weather in your images Jack.

Thanks Martyn, I made another flight but changed the season to summer. Orbx models season too well! This time of year there's few leaves on the trees and not much green. But still great scenery. 5 hours ago, jjaycee1 said: Thanks jack. It was great to see you and sorry about the weather.
