British Eagle?

I thought it was something to do with the dog and possibly you could lick your own :O

B. ald eagle?

I thought that acolade went to Viking pilots from VGS's. That's why I didn't choose ACW833.....:O

Perhaps a PM to admin for a user name change is called for....:hmm:

BEagle = a past fondness for flying the Basset CC.1 perchance :ooh:

In view of the hours I spent in a Lynx listening to the roar of the mighty Gem engine. :}

Good answer.

My VGS callsign which I thought at the time would be really clever and unique. Should have done my homework. Another possible PM to the mods coming up.

ACW

BEagle, shurely you mean:

And I plumped for Melchett having spent a good deal of time watching Blackadder Goes Forth and being struck by the similarities between that and the shear insanity of where I happened to be working at the time.

I just thought it was mildly amusing.


Aaron.

And it is!

Well done for coming out BEags.

In response to the oft-used quote "Why dig in, when you can check-in?"

Far too many "farewell to BFG" flypasts for me, where it was all I ever got to say on the radio.

BEagle - Nothing to do with RAF Halton?

Nothing to do with Halton, British Eagle, the Basset CC1 or any s*dding dog - it was simply a contraction of 'Bald' and 'Eagle'.....

Now, who remembers the origin of 'Lady Amelia Sheyd Haugh-Dawe'?

Names ?
 

zetec2: nothing to do with aviation, it was the (successful) quest to extract over 200BHP from a humble 2.0 litre Ford Zetec engine in my Focus.

But intrigued by a fellow posters name: Sycamore, knowing your history (Whirlwind, Wessex, Sea King & all sorts of unusual beasts) where did it come from, certainly not pushing said Sycanore in & out of the SAR hangar at Finningley surely, I know don't call me surely !) do tell.
Rgds, PH.

I was once lowered on a cable from a helicopter into an airborne 747 in which all the aircrew had been killed or incapacitated in a midair. I then landed the 747 at Salt Lake City. Lucky I was because up until then a stewardess had been flying the plane.
They made it into a film, I was played by Charlton Heston. True Story.

Mine is just a modified version of the (french) word for an important structural part of a fuselage ie Longeron with an extra R.
My name aint Ron and it isnt Longer :)

Names?
 

Heh, heh. I know where I got mine. Others know, but it's a secret.:hmm:
