What did you fly in today?

[rickoshea52]

I pas that shop on the way to work each day. I only see model railway and car stuff in the window. We flew at 1,000ft to Basingstoke and back. So you wouldn't have seen it around Alton

That’s their key sales product but they also have Airfix and such like in there, he still has the Airfix 1/48 Tempest and Walrus from the initial issue.

I had an unexpected flight in this Rapide yesterday. It landed at the airfield (Lasham) where I’m currently working. The owner offered to take us up in it as a Thankyou for storing it in one of the hangars overnight. Lady pilot is a British Airways A320 captain. The flight was a great experience. I’m the little fat guy on the right of the photo!.

Nice one Dave.
Didn't go in them of course but this afternoon there was a great roar as what I think would have been by the sound the Red Arrows flying quite low over Stamford. No good in rushing outside as they were long gone :crying:, even though we never tire of seeing them.
As several of the crew live in the area and the OC went to school here we often are treated to fly past as they go to some display.

Great experience Dave, one you'll remember I'm sure. Looks a really nicely presented example of the Rapide.

I've no such excitement. For my sins, confined to the back of a rattly ATR for a few hours.

I 'Flew' Concorde !
Flew from Sydney over the city and out to sea, then flew UNDER Sydney Harbour Bridge and landed safely again - no problem !
Great fun at Brooklands Concorde Flight Simulator ( the only operational one in the world ! )
Nice Race and Transport museums too see as well as all the aircraft - highly recommended ....[ATTACH]320494[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320495[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320496[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320497[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320498[/ATTACH]

That looks fun Steve, nice photos too. Concorde still looks like it's going Mach 2 even when it's parked (with the nose up).
