Those B&Ws are fairly hard to distinguish from real photos!

Excellent set!

It's amazing what you'll learn on a forum.

[Splitpin]

Thanks Shane...... and yes, you find this forum to be an endless supply of information....even on the origin of chips (Ian, i think you need to get more sleep )

Crinkle Cuts they were called ... then late 70s .. French Fries .. oh very POSH ... in the US of A , Simply Fries .... WWII 'old War Comics' was simply 'Chipper ole chap' or CHIPS got it ! .. or the 'greaser' got em , Double

That 'Spitfire' has a lot to answer too

I had a hard time rejecting some of those! We're blessed in NZ with some stunning scenery as backdrops to this beautiful aircraft. I keep REX running while I search for nice angles so I'm always surprised by the weather/cloud effects that get generated as I go. It's always a pleasure to "fly" a Spit in a sim where some bogey isn't trying to kill you

I had the pleasure when I was working the Royal Navy Air Traffic Service to manage to wangle a flight in ML407 'The Grace Spitfire' and nothing Flight simming can do can come close, had to change my underware afterwards, pure sex.

oh by the way great shots guys.
