I see you've upgraded your aeroplane collection. Too big for your flat? ...and does the wife know about them?:03:

She'll know soon enough when I land that chopper on the rear lawn :)

TwinStar :rock::rock:
Now that's a nice aeroplane to fly. First time can be a bit scary, since it's made of carbon fibre. I banked a little too steeply after takeoff because the controls are much lighter than what I'm used to, and seeing the wings flex allll the way up and down was unnerving :D

I was a little surprised to see how much room there was inside considering she's a four seater.

Thought I'd responded to this already but must've been mistaken.

FRA (Cobham - same thing) they're out flying erratic (or so it seems!) flight patterns over the North Sea between me and you almost daily.

Don't know whether these ones are the ECM ones or flight inspection. :hmmm:

ECM...they were fitted with jamming pods on the port wing.

For the flight inspection jobs they have a lot of ancillary equipment to check radar and radio stuff (yes, I am aware of what the 'ra' in radio stands for), didn't know for sure which was which.

Yeah they're nice and roomy. Early models have twin diesels too, something different!

What surprised me was the fact they have a kevlar skin at the back and tail to protect from stray bullets when they are on tug duties.

The guide has my email addy and promised to try and get me on a flight some time in the future but I'm not holding my breath.
