Great flight!


 


Never thought I'd see the day where the name "Stranmillis" (pic no. 3) featured in a flight sim forum!!! I grew up there, lived in Stranmillis till I was 18, and still go back at least once a year. Stranmillis is the area with the trees to the left of the Lagan. Many a happy teenage Saturday night was spent at the Boat Club :)


 


Cheers

Thanks Jack. Hope I have brought back happy memories for you. In the FS world anything is possible!

Very nice!

Stunning shots as always Martyn. I like the meeting of generations in #14 - seems that you gave that cougar a fright.

Yeah Frank, the Cougars claws are no match for the Beaufighters guns!

Interesting set and great idea to use this rarely seen one. It seems you have a reserve of old ones hidden somewhere.

I enjoy bringing these famous old aircraft back to life.

Great set! :)

Very Nice !! .
