I love Eastern bloc cockpits. Seems there was a surplus of that green paint.

So many dials

Yeah, that engineer's panel on the Tu-154 is something else!

Gonna go with some Eastern Bloc stuff.... https://live.staticflickr.com/4462/37954998576_8f5c412ba5_h.jpg Ilyushin Il-86 - 4 by Nick Jennings , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/4505/26232050959_9825ffab51_h.jpg Tupolev Tu-154M - 8 by Nick Jennings , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/451...

This country is one of the safest, wealthiest, beautiful places on the planet with opportunity to transcend your origins in wealth and social status. While much of that is true, the opportunity to transcend your origins isn't equal for all members of our society. Whether that is down to your skin c...

Like the comps, this poll will be open for 48 hours. You can change your vote if you select the wrong option, but after 48 hours the poll will close. In the event of a tie then both entries will be put forward to the year end comp - however if ties become a regular thing then we may need to have a s...

Pretty quiet year for me on the aviation front. Managed a night shoot in March, but most of my av togging took place in September for the Aviano and USMC deployments. First up the two seat Aviano bird, caught arriving back just after sunset. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50594274981_9c8c4b6c98...

It will be a post Christmas, Christmas when we can all get together Christmas is a religious festival which can only be celebrated on a specific day. Many use it as a year end blow out, again linked to the specific holiday period. You seem to be using it as an annual family get together. All are va...

Hey Andy, what about Douglas designs that then became McDonnell Douglas products, like the Skyhawk? If they were designed and built before the merger (but just adopted the "McDonnell Douglas" name) they're in! Thanks, so for aircraft like the Skyhawk we need to establish when the airframe was built...

Its a very fair question regardng how long you can ask the majority to make huge sacifices in order to protect a relatively small minority. Trouble is, until you catch it you don't really know how vulnerable you are. It's like playing the lottery, except instead of winning, you die - I'm not sure I...

I think the problem is, people have been making decisions for themselves from the start. The first lockdown was generally well followed, I think, but the Government have made serious errors, u-turns and even flouted the rules themselves. So, we're now at a stage where people are just gonna do their ...
