Vacation in the UK (Now with pics!)

[CeeGee]

Thank you Warren for your very kind words, you and your family were a pleasure to have to stay.

Now, as to the Comet 4, which is my brother in law Mike's creation and build:

Well, it is the only working simulator of the Comet 4 in the whole wide world and it all works except some of the Navigators station. Now remember that the only bits that you can pre-program in the cockpit, are the radio freqs. No GPS, EFIS etc so it is very much a 2 crew cockpit. Warren was thrown in to fly the beastie from EGLL with a tiny brief, and left to get on with it. Anyone who Warren has visited will tell you this - He has pilots hands, a very impressive display indeed - well done the B737NG pilot!!

The nicest thing by far, was being able to swap ideas and techniques, which I know that this site does brilliantly, but there is no substitute for showing creations and discussing wish-lists with someone who is as keen as you are, and is standing right next to you. Most of our visitors have never flown a sim before, so Warren was a real treat for us. Lets do more!!

The Harrier is being reassembled by Mike with alarming speed. We are using the Wilco FSX Harrier as the base model and they are changing some of the VSTOL items to suit our requirements - lots of Beta testing this end and a free patch for the Wilco model, will leave us all happy. Photos will appear as soon as the rebuild progresses.

Warren, you are welcome back any time, as is anyone else who is in the area, Ian, Rhys !! Onwards and upwards, Charlie.

I have promised a new video of the Comet to replace our very old one - and here it is. Enjoy! Mike and Charlie.

Great video, Charlie!  I can attest that this is one hell of a sim!
