QUOTE (Timmo @ Feb 20 2011, 02:58 AM) Those are the pros of course....but there are many cons: I for one 'flew by the instruments' a lot when I started flying in real life as that was the best way to accurately judge height/pitch in early FS- It took a while before I learned to fly with my eyes outside and to confirm what I was seeing with instruments. Same - I didn't nail things like steep turns properly until I finally listened to my instructor and looked at the nose in relation to the horizon, occasionally confirming on the instruments, rather than looking at the...

They were undoubtedly stationed at RAF Turnhouse, now the Edinburgh city airport. I remember in the early post-war years, riding my bike over to watch the first Gloster Meteors taking off and landing. My Grandfather told me of watching the Turnhouse Spits running off some Luftwaffe bombers attempting to bomb the Forth Rail Bridge - all they hit was water.

There was a great docu-drama on TV tonight, 'About Waitangi: what really happened', which was kind of an idiot's guide to the treaty. Very well done, and worth a watch (I guess it'll show up on-demand).
