One of the better war movies lately !!! Aju, Derk

Hope the world will not be running out of beer..... Have fun, Derk

"Rest and be thankfull" is an absolute beautyspot in Scotland, a spectecular mountain pass on the way to Inverarray, and I've been there many times. Strange as it may sound, it is a beautiful place to end your life (even if it's far too early.......) May the crew indeed rest and be thankfull ......... Derk

Same here !!! Derk

Not only the Brits, millions on the continent too. We have just about everything here like Dad's Army, Allo Allo, Fawlty Towers, Keeping up Appearances etc. and we absolutely love it So another one of the great British actors died, let's be happy that all of them are in fact immortal with all the CD's and vids available. You're only dead when nobody remembers you anymore !!! Hou doe, Derk

I guess the FIAT did not win in the end. Well done !! Hou doe, Derk

Just had it yesterday (SU 22)... I like it, gives one a second chance.. Anything to do with fire surpression in the data.ini ? And is there reduced power after a fire ? Hou doe, Derk

It's a miracle how they keep 'em young..... Good old Buff looks like new !! :yes: Hou doe, Derk

How about Lake Mikoyan..... Hou doe, Derk

!!!!! Derk

Mille grazie Veltro, bellissima...... !! Derk

Any of our Dutch, Belgian or German members planning to go to Volkel next Friday and/or Saturday, June 19th and 20th Great show (Vulcan, Turkish Stars, EF18, airfield attack/air power demo, Typhoon, BAF & RNlAF F16 demo's, Polish Fulcrum, Hunter, Patrouille de France, Patrulla Aguilla, SAAB 105, Red Arrows etc etc. ... see website) Maybe a nice occasion to have a beer together after years without it on the forum.... And: there is ALWAYS something you've never seen before and won't ever see again !!! Hope to see some of you around, Hou doe, Derk

And for the record: 75.000 people on Friday and 145.000 on Saturday.......

Did see the Vulcan (and a lot of other great stuff for that matter) and shook hands and had a chat with the display pilot, Sq.Ldr (retired) Martin Withhers, who was actually the pilot on Black Buck 1 , the epic 8000 mile round trip from Ascension, with the very first attack on Stanley Airfield in the Falkland War !! Took pics and made simple movies but can't send them because of used attachment space. Guess we'll see YOU around one day as the F16 or F35 demo pilot !!!!! , And by the way: the airfield attack was changed a bit compared to other years and was VERY impressive with 15 F16's attacking all AT THE SAME TIME, and making numerous bombing and strafing passes after that. It was a thundering and fiery affair !! Guess you'll be finding things at Youtube. Hou doe, Derk

39 and 29 forever !!!! Derk

Hope they will built some sort of "retro" SAAB 96 (like what VW did with the Beetle and FIAT with the Cinquecento). Extremely original and advanced car, well streamlined with all sorts of influences from aviation, Rallye Monte Carlo winner, very safe with formidable roadholding qualities. Nice and very smooth two stroke engine. Still used nowadays for oldtimer rallies :see or under "SAAB two stroke singing" Owned two of them back in the seventies, my first cars.... :yes: :yes: Hou doe, Derk

That's the trick. Do some navigation, get as near as possible, using the smallest roads, BRING YOUR BICYCLE WITH YOU and you're there. Another big adavantage is that in case of rain, you won't get stuck in the mud with a couple of thousand other cars somewhere in a meadow or even on the airfield........ In some cases they I saw them use plane tractors or even AFV's and light tanks to get people out of the mud..... Hou doe, Derk

Derk

Makes me want to go there on holiday again..... Hou doe, Derk

Holy s**t, real Cat 4 damage !!! You ARE tough are you ? My respect !!! Derk

I'll surely go to Volkel (big show anyway) and it's probably very going to be a very special thing at Sanicole in september: small grass airfield in the moors of the Belgian Kempen region where I've seen amazing things with aircraft coming very close and passing very low..... It's great that the Vulcan is making overseas trips and showing up in our country and Belgium !! Hou doe, Derk

Looks like you're recovering ............. Get well soon !! Derk

Merci beaucoup !! Aju, Derk
