I'll be down at LATCC from the 11-15 June, then the 8th July til ATLAS finishes. I was down there this morning, in fact.

There's no parallel runway at Boscombe (not one the same length anyway, we used the northern taxiway for Tutor ops), and the northern taxiway (B1) has got a big kink in it. The runway's over 200ft wide so there's no problem with running parallel on the same surface.

What I'd suggest for Boscombe is - The car and Typhoon set off together and the Typhoon has to complete a visual circuit and land while the car treats it as a straight drag race. It would also probably give you a 'chase' when the Typhoon's on finals.

Hornet Swallow and Hunter.. great planes from an era when GB were true leaders in aircraft design.

Good shout. I had a model of that. Cutbacks stopped it when it was ready to go. With hindsight it wasn't needed but who knew that then?

sorry mugboots this thread also reminds me of a time before i wore long trousers! i was nottrying to being clever or arsy ..somebody posted a picture earlier and i genuinely dont recognise it and would like to know! i thought it might be some sort of hornet variant.
