Did you see how the pilots moove the steering wheel ? Lots of turbulence above fire ...

This one is fine too : http://www.moto-journal.tv/la-webtv-venue-dailleurs/robbie-maddisons-air-craft (http://www.moto-journal.tv/la-webtv-venue-dailleurs/robbie-maddisons-air-craft)
Steffan you can see the nose of a PBY Catalina ...

Have a look at the other videos on moto-journal.tv : some are crazy.

Had my lunch at Cosford during my "Not the Dragon" Ride.

Free to get in although you have to pay £2.50 to park. Only place in the world you can see all three V-bombers (plus a Canberra hanging from the ceiling with a lot of 1950's-60's fighters and a couple of atom bombs). There is a second hall with prototypes like a TSR2.

The slightly worrying bit is that the working part of the airfield (think it's a repair centre) were still doing something with Jet Provosts (probably scrapping them), scene of my only official flight with the RAF. The bit where the bloke with stripes told everyone over five foot eight that if forced to eject their knees would be going through the instrument panel and they could trying jumping instead if they liked sticks in my mind. I wasn't offered the job, thinking we were going to land on the A-1 due to not been able to see the runway didn't help.

Aye Andy,

Nice pics.  :)

Shame the beasties are crammed in, but its better than leaving them out in the weather to languish and slowly corrode.

Used to ride out to Radlett, Herts on the push bike and see all the Victors lined up when being converted to tankers at Handley Page's. All gone now. :'( Great bits of kit.

Last autumns Leuchars airshow was really good with acrobatics and flypast of the Vulcan, really put the hairs on the back of the neck up!  ;D ;D

Last aircraft to leave as dusk fell was this!  ;D ;) ;D Wee gem! Not a 'Moth', as I have incorrectly captioned the image, but a Jungmann! The link to the Jungmann site is here:

Enjoy!

My regards, Bill.

Is the Jungmann still produce in Spain ?
It was a few years ago.
Nice plane that gave good handled skills to german pilots.
