Re: Michael Beetham Conservation Centre Nov 2010

Great shots Rob, somewhere everyone should visit, though personally I'm holding off until the Dornier arrives :)

I might be being a little bit dense here, but I assume there were more (bits of) aircraft there?

Re: Thruster T600 Sprint Flying near Gresford

Considering the weather and the reasonable calm winds, I'd expect to see loads of GA up and about today, making the most of the weather before it all goes wrong tomorrow!

Still, an awfully vague request considering there are almost 100 T600's current on the UK register!

Re: FS2004 No disk crack

Sam,
Google "FS9.1 No-CD" - FSNordic should appear - Also might want to make sure you have FS9.1 installed, available on the MS site.

And I should state EGUL and EGUN are also ICAO codes. XLK and MHZ are IATA ones, like the ones you find on your luggage labels.

Re: UKAR Jargon Buster

It's the use of airport codes that gets my goat. To be honest, whether you're a registration collector, photographer, model maker, etc. then airport codes are pretty integral For which reason? I tend not to talk in codes - I refer to places by their names....? Only time I've ever needed them was to...

Afraid I have to say FS9, but I prefer the in-depth simulations, rather than "get in and go" of most add-on's (Both for FS9 and FSX, before anyone complains!)

You needed to crop a little bit more to the left Ben, you've very nearly chopped the wing, and there's too much dead space to the right of the image, in my opinion :)

Re: It's not "naughty" it's dangerous!

You rarely see (in fact, never on UKAR) "freeloaders" pictures from Old Warden (or indeed Sywell or Little Gransden, for that matter). The aircraft are displayed there to the photographer's (and the general punter's) best advantage - curving topsides all the way. Because the crowd-line cu...

Re: It's not "naughty" it's dangerous!

Whilst others actually want to be able to get decent photographs of them... Then the choice is simple! You can't get photographs of aircraft turning towards you from the crowd-line, unless you go to the States (Unless they've tightened the rules up again), as the CAA don't allow passes over the cro...
