The Flight: BBC1-1930-04/05/07

[Gerrard]

BBC1 are doing an half hour documentary of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) tonight, following them through a flying season, including the Queen's fly past. Don't know if it'll be any good, but thought I would mention it as a couple of people here might be interested.

cheers matey

That was pretty good actually. Didn't realise that some of the pilots on the Typhoon also flew in the BBMF. I remember talking with the Station Commander at our Christmas dinner when he was being trained up in the Chipmunk, and he said he nearly crashed it! "If you're in a single prop aircraft, and the propeller stops, it's not a good thing!". Luckily, he had the height to restart it

Incidentally, I'm one of guys in the background marshalling (waving at) the Typhoons as they come in.

and i missed it!
i didnt know that upgrading my PC would take the best part of 3 and a half hours to do....and i did a crap job installing the heatsink + thermal paste

[Gerrard]

Pity, they were giving advice on how to land a Hurricane

[Nick Smith]

like i need that!

[Zak33]

and i did a crap jon installing the heatsink + thermal paste

well re-do it ..summer will find the weakness i you don't.

[Nick Smith]

i've re done it today, still at the same temps,

though i did read that the temps lower after a few days with this thermal paste

i might buy some AS5 and see what happens

[YorkieBen]

I've only just seen this thread - did anyone record it onto dvd at all? Id really like to see the programme

[Nick Smith]

would be useful for me too

it might help me with my landing

[Gerrard]

I'll ask around at work as I'm sure someone would have got a copy of it somewhere.
