Its just the little cuddly monkey thing they put there all the time unless Barry has got a lot more hairy.

One part of this sentence is correct. Tick tock, Tick tock, Tick tock, Tick .....

Thanks for the comments. The famous Vulcan howl was simply amazing!

Harrogate,

I popped up the link to the Typhoon images on the 'Typhoon Wheels-up Trial in China Lake' thread

Al,

RAW or JPEG is really down to personal choice in my opinion. I started shooting RAW late last year and find that it works for me with the software that I have. JPEG setting will give you more in the memory buffer as the files are smaller.

I had a look at the original image. It look like a mascot of some description! Looks like the scarey clown off the old BBC test card!

Does this answer your question?

I think thats where they keep Richard Branson hostage until he agrees to give them some funding.

That's a grave insult to the fluffy crewman. Brings to mind the furore when Man United were taken over by the septics and the more rabid of their Kuala Lumpur/Torquay based fans burnt an effigy of Malcolm Glaser outside Castle Greyskull (Old Trafford).

One of the wittier commentators remarked that it was the first time an effigy had been better looking than the original.

Ahhhh that explains it.
Thanks DG.

My 30 second take vid is now on You Tube at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-x3wlpXpzvY
558 had to wait a few minutes while a twin prop infringed on it's airspace. Happy going south to north then quick 180 deg back track out of the way!

Enjoy!

Anyone know who the crew was? Dave Thomas & Mike Pollitt were spotted but no sign of Martin Withers or Al McDicken...

Forget, I bow to your superior knowledge.
perhaps as a propulsion tech, you can enlighten me as to why it sounded 'slightly ropey' as it past me?

forget

Is that me, or you? Anyway, I never once saw a Vulcan F700 entry that read ‘engines sound slightly ropey’. Nor, when standing underneath one on the pad with my fillings rattling, or running away from them on QRA, did I stop to ponder, ‘By Gum, that engine sounds slightly ropey’.

You may have heard an ‘unusual’ sound. Maybe the power settings weren’t symmetrical, but ‘slightly ropey’. Nooooooo. Mind you I don’t know what ‘slightly ropey’ means.

Stitchbitch

Me 'Slightly ropey' must equal 'Maybe the power settings weren’t symmetrical' or slightly ropey = crackling sounds noticeable above normal olympus sound, in my less than stella engine noise spotter capacity I would liken it to a car engine running rough (but in Jet terms). Erm, I'll stop now then...
Anyhow, she enjoyed some attention today:

Just thought you would like too know due too a unsucessful compass swing today tomorrows planned local test flight (not display) wont go ahead you wiull have too wait till Friday. Hope it wasnt those magnetic rivets I used that are making both the nav and pilot compasses go wonky lol

ZH875

Do you know routing of the test flight?

Jetscream 32

Iian Young is meant to driving right seat this week i think - or at least that was the plan??

Lancasterman

I wonder if the "red slap" could be causing the problems?

forget

BBC Lincolnshire.

The Avro Lancaster was a British four-engine Second World War bomber aircraft made initially by Avro for the British Royal Air Force. It first saw active service in 1942.

Inexcuseable.

Dis Gruntled

Dont know the routing but it wont be as long as the one on tuesday so not sure if it will do Cambridge again. Most of the snags raised on the last flight were avionics stuff which although minor (and mostly known about for some time ) Do have too be sorted out.
As for the red slab Lancman, I answered that one on key aviation

supakva

Oh dear more problems.
I have no knowledge of compass workings, is this a major problem that will cost lots more money, or is it a simple fix. Will it need more test flights???
Anybody with some expert info care to answer.
An eta for return flight to brunty would be great also!!
