wain71 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I was looking at one of the old planes they have at Filton before the pandemic came, not sure if it's an original but when you read how they used to fly these, and the heights etc in all weathers I am truly amazed, very courageous pilots back in the day... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice images Thanks Landon . Well, it is possible to get a flight in a biplane even today. I know they offer Tiger Moth flights in the UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikbenik Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Nice collection of vintage biplanes. I suppose the EMS Heli is in place to assist and evacuate an unlucky pilot out of a crashed oldy on site. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heaton Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 As you know - I have memories of actually flying at White Waltham - way back in the 70s and now on MSFS no matter how many times - Physically or by simulator - I always have trouble picking out one of the 3 grass runways Even harder I suppose when one is upside down good pics - by the way 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mac Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 These really look fantastic and I have a love of bi wing aircraft! Grass strips from the air can be difficult to spot. I remember my first grass landing and thought how soft the touchdown was! John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
