My Goodness. This brings back some memories. The old Flying Pig. Wink

We used to see them flying all the time around here operating out of RAF Thorney Island. Not in those markings though. Good to see some of these rarer types for FS at last. They've been neglected for far too long.

Oops, silly me, one gets forgetful occasionally Wink

There's a nice pair of Vicker's Viking and Valetta too... lurverly

Just seen a 32 (Royal) Squadron BAe 146 fly over my house in Southampton too, how nice (wonder who it was?)

Flyboy. If you look closely you will see the prop is feathered.

I have no idea. It should be on the local news. Probably one of the hangers-on. Oops - hush my big mouth. Roll Eyes

Thank you. Quite right about the fuel saving, as a recently "retired" student one has learnt to be careful with the pennies...

Next thing you know i'll be flying around on best economy mixture???.
