Jack Sawyer Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I love the detail of this building Don't know what any of these building are, I guess I could look it up on google but don't have the time I love the truck driving on the field, nice touch I imagine this to be a huge train yard? Let's take a look. Follow that train! Don't try this at home kids. Yep, I made it! Looks like a giant LEGO building! Martyn did this so I have to try it Lower the basket Couldn't get the floats to deploy. Anyone else ever get them to deploy with this chopper?

Cheers John Thanks John! I'd love to see it, I love trains. I loved New York's Grand Central but I liked the London trains stations better. 4 minutes ago, stewart1 said: Fantastic set of shots Jack where you train ing plenty of trains and Southampton is a super airport orbx have done a good job regards stewart Thanks Stewart!

Stillwater Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Not totally yellow, but experimental flight action as we can expect from therealjacksawyer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Wonderful tour around Eastleigh and Southampton Jack, thoroughly enjoyed it. The second shot is the old Ford works where the Transit van was made. It has now been demolished. The railway yards have built locomotives and rolling stock since the 1890s. They were closed in 2006 but re opened again. You flew under the Campbell Road bridge! The Lego building is the Marchwood Incinerator. You then flew up the Solent to see the Fawley Refinery. The basket was lowered at Hamble Refinery, Hamble once being the home of the College of Air Training Follands had a factory there where the Gnat was built.

Sammy H Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 A wonderful series Jack. Love the Dauphin in Maryland State Polica colors, my home State. I use to see that bird all the time, there was a State Trooper barracks around the corner from my parents house, they had 4 of them stationed there. That helo sounds super cool also due to the Finestron type tail rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate all that info! You are a veritable fount of excellent knowledge and trivia, I always learn something and new here. All of this is very interesting to me! 46 minutes ago, Sammy H said: A wonderful series Jack. Love the Dauphin in Maryland State Polica colors, my home State.

I've never seen a real Dauphin and would be thrilled to see and hear one! 19 minutes ago, gregmorin said: Great tour Jack.

That is ok Jack, living in Southampton and Eastleigh for 6 years I knew and have visited most of the places in your set. 40 years ago now and there has been great change in the area of course. Places never stay the same but people are a different matter.5555! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
