Very interesting set of photos. Good find.

The cockpit is a far cry from the original 1980s design , not sure if they were used but a Christchurch printing firm was working on the displays , they were printed and as thin and lite as a laminated photo .

Ham - Nice entry , Thanks for the search and the links /cool.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= B-) border= 0 alt= cool.gif />

I get all my work done by this big guy at Omaka ..... he's a bit of a wild bugger, but his work is top notch /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif /> so I'll give that mob a wide berth.

Thanks for all the comments /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> QUOTE (HamiltonWest @ Nov 15 2012,11:30 PM) yes Noticeable drop in temp and a bit eerie. It seemed to get real eerie, being that dull yet still light but not haha.

QUOTE (IslandBoy77 @ Nov 13 2012,9:16 AM) I guess Ian will know the date of the first "proper" in-flight refuel? Arr Pete you tease me , as CP pointed this was 1921 , back then they even got out on the wing strut to change the oil ... ole Smithy ( to the uneducated 'Charles Kingsford Smith') had a crew member do that very feat over the Tasman , think he happened to be a crazy Kiwi called Charlie Ulm ... only thing they did'nt do mid air was wash the windscreen of the bugs .

Well done zk ....... /New_Zealand_etc.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= >nzflag< border= 0 alt= New_Zealand_etc.gif /> we owe them a lot .

Thanks, Bazza and Ian. Been in contact with my ISP and after an extensive series of pings/trace searches et cetera have determined the problem lies with my IP address being blocked by Avsim. My IP address is static; will turn off the modem tonight for 12 hours to see whether it creates a new address upon start up ... if not, well ... Can access Avsim via zendproxy, of course, but that exposes this rig to all manner of security issues.

Thanks for the comments guys . I really shouldn't post when Im tired and grumpy .... so sorry about the negitive stuff . Rob , your right....it will come along, and it is . There are some new buildings popping up all over the place. Im working (in , on and around) the building with the yellow around it. Its future is 99% sealed (demo) the ones in red are coming down, im sure there are more .

Big one is .. and it happened with Concorde .. and the debacle with that .. Noise , safety , fuel ... then what ever the complainers ... the HCs off the world /sad.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :( border= 0 alt= sad.gif />

That would go to custard if they started playing the 'bird song' /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif />
