Good pics .Now I wish I was allowed to go to east fortune next week ,Nearest I will get to there is the other side of the Forth estury about 8 miles away don't think will see a lot from there .



I know this is out of place .Just going through the diplay for Leuchars I see on TVOC, 558 is listed as on ground only no fly .But on the http://www.airshow .co.uk she is listed as flying .has someone forgot or is the flight op page incorect .IE is she flying or not.

A few more from yesterday .....

[Dan4th]

Thanks, MR........

They're all good, but the landing light
detail shot is especially nice!

You would know this: Is the extend/retract
function on those electric or hydraulic?????
Any springs involved?

Danf.

[Mackrick]

Electric actuator operated If I remember correctly it had a blow back clutch on it incase they forget to retract them.

Nice pic Pam

[Dan4th]

I am AMAZED! And after I made all those hypothetical
questions on the other forum way, way back about
Rolling the Vulcan.....

Especially with that second one, I'd say she was about
85 to 90 per cent THERE!

Would love to hear the cockpit intercom exchange.....

[Stevieboy]

I understand that Kev was instructed to "give it some beans" today.

[Dan4th]

Mission: ACCOMPLISHED!

D.

[RLN]

I thought Kev was going to roll her, and to be honest, I didn't believe what I was seeing. Hope he doesn't fly his Airbus like that

[Dan4th]

Just been over on YouTube watching vids of
today. Here's a nice one:

OH look MUMMY a Vulcan half roll Brilliant and heard the HOOOWWWWLL from here . I bet the crew enjoyed that one .Can see Smiler now Tearing his hair out .Not sure about the Vulcan Scramble just before brakes off on the vid from Saturday though and tell me where was that blue smoke haze comming from as she pounded down the runway ,or was it spray from the wheels.

[Hihonyr8811]

Appologies for not coming to find anyone on the Saturday, I was far to terriied to leave my little camp with Cluny to venture out lol
Altough I did eventually have to, only to find all the loos were blocked

Put some pics on t'other forum if anyone is interested.

And a couple of vids.
