In the first thermal, I was getting irritated by the slip indicator (wool) not being aligned...Then I realised that the camera is on the right! Thanks for sharing, loved it. The SHK is a beauty - so what if it's not as slippery!
Please, could You write what is prop diameter, engine hp / rpm and redrive ratio ? I like to see some fuselage and centerplane drawings, to kow more about structure of this beauty plane.
Please see this on UK Secret Bases website, with reference to your aerial photography at RAF Croughton www.secret-bases.co.uk/secret2.htm?permalink=giant-voice
God, those varios absolutely ruin the aesthetics of gliding. You only need to hear it faintly, not at a million decibels. You also have a GAUGE which tells you where there is lift so you don't'' need these infernal bleeps deafening you. Do glider pilots have no taste?
Lovely bit of video and looked a nice day for it, still baffled as to how you find your way back to the airport, do you use satnav or old school navigation?
Saying goodbye to an old and trusted friend. Last flight in my Midget Mustang before her new owner takes her away tomorrow. Blue skies Little Red Thing.............................
What an adorable thing...if I could fly about in something like that, looking out over the world, I might stop worrying about every little thing, saw you on Planefinder, so lovely
Damien, Are you restoring this old airplanes. This is fantastic. And for whatever reason your Bu133 video is blocked in US :-( . Stop by my channel when you have time.
If it is ok for you ....... only one sentence: SIMPLY WONDERFUL this idea! And ..... it is good to see, that most of us pilots are a little bit crazy. I LOVE this super film sooooooooo much and have seen it min. 15 times or more; and always I fly with "them". All the best from Germany and always Happy Landings your brother in mind Joseph
Cracking videos and love your gallery of stills on Flickr, I came across your images whilst shopping for a plane on AFORS. Feel free to come flying with me when I finally find a new craft.
