    Mission to Mounts Bay


    A quick trip around Mounts Bay.

    Jetstream T-2 XX488 562, leaves RNAS Cludrose for an early morning 'instruments check' flight. She is welcomed by the 'old tiddy oggie'; coming up over the 'yard arm'! (That's the sun rises over the horizon, for those not in the know!); and returns, passing St. Michael's Mount.

    A 'not so' quick hop from Waddington to KEF..






    No new flightsim purchases this Christmas (it's a first) so had to search around to find something I'd not flown in ages. I honestly didn't think this trip would take long but I never factored in winds aloft at well over 90kts. Can't remember if the model burns a bit heavy but it seemed to. Had to take on fuel twice!!

    It would be one of many questions to choose from, like other sites use for the same purpose... to make sure you're not a 'bot'. You'd select the question from their roster and then type in an answer. That answer goes into their (CBFS) database as an identifier for you. So in effect, you're GIVING CBFS the answer to their question, like the RAF Bedford question.
    I reckon if you're a resident of Britain, and somewhat of a British aircraft authority, then you'd know what the registration number of the specific Vickers VC-10 that wore the RAF Bedford paint. I am not, (not out of ignorance but I have way too many planes in FS to try and keep up with everyone's history). Sorry, mate.

    I'm a member here, and I registered just a user name and password. Did the same on about 10 more sites, FS related and others. The only site that asked for personal information, were Banks and Credit Card facilities.

    I accept that there is sometimes a difficulty in knowing details about foreign aircraft and indeed locations. There is an old saying that the USA and the UK are nations divided by a common language. I've found that to be true when I've visited your country.

    Still, we remain friends, and that's the main thing.

    Oh, yes please, I'll have one of those! This model is really terrific. Better than many payware. And an unfinished beta - sheesh!
    Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

    DaveB,

    The white bomber reminded me of James Bond movie

    Curious to know if those white bombers ever saw any military action????

    Regards,

    Aharon

    Yeah, you're right...The movie was "Thunderball" (original name of a VERY famous Israeli military operation too, I might add). There was a Vulcan in that where the bad guys stole a nuclear weapon.

    we wouldn't be here if they did, the scheme was called anti flash, same as the white hood and gloves used by navies, the anti flash schemes where singled out as nuke bombers

    i believe the only anti flash vulcans ever to drop a nukes was during the blue steel trial in central australia

    the regular schemes (conventional bombers) only saw combat service in the Falklands

    The white scheme was in service but thankfully.. never used in anger. After the Russians built SAM's with range enough to hit it the V Bombers.. their operational roll changed (nuclear responsibility went to the RN) and they started picking up the camo upper scheme with variations below following (white lower/grey lower/camo lower). The Vulcan in 'Thunderball' was camo upper and white lower as I remember (not that I haven't seen it a dozen times)

    A flight in a restored Messerschmitt around Camarillo, California.

    Spitfire around Camarillo. It's fun to have an ORBX regional scenery for a section of the world I've actually been to - from Camarillo, to Van Nuys, to Chino, Palm Springs, and as far south as Borrego Springs, it brings back a lot of memories.

    Jeansy and DaveB,

    Thanks for explanations. Did not realize that was Vulcan!! Screenshot angles fooled me. I thought that was some other bomber called Vickers Valiant or Handley Page Victor.

    LOL

    I know that Vulcans had combat action in Falkland War.

    Regards,

    Aharon

    Thanks DaveB!

    John Terrell I can always tell when I'm looking at one of your screens. I generally view this forum on my phone and so names are usually hidden from view but itshe always a treat to this kinda I'm looking at one of your screens and then find that I'm correct in my assumption! You've got your own look for sure which most photographers are trying to find in real life...to be recognized! Great job!
