    Many Thanks to Mike for sorthing this grand day out.

    For me it was nice to finally put faces to the names of people I know on here and have a good old chinwag about building sims.

    My personal favorite had definitly got to be Concorde, its exactly how a flightdeck should be, small cramped and more light buttons and switches than you could shake a stick at. I could of easally of spent the entire day up there, I was like a Kid in a sweet shop

    And the trident aswell, i am not old enough to remember when that beauty was in service so it was good for me to have a look into our own heratage, and yed I never knew it had a hidden 4th booster engine and the most amazing fact was that it could happly cruse at M0.88!!

    And the Avro RJX, I remember that vey aircraft flying several times over my house on approach to Warton during its test flight and its two sisters are now used to ferry Bae employees to different locations around europe several times a day.

    Cant wait for the next one where I may actually be able to fly somthing. And yes I am a Sim virgin (apart from desktop setups!)

    Some more pics in no order.

    Thanks for the Trident shots. Very nice airplane. Certainly a different design philosophy than Boeing used.

    I'd go nuts in the Concorde with all of those switches and gauges!

    Very nicely and professionally put together. Well would I expect anything less from a group of sim builders? Hey Tim perhaps we can arrange a similar jaunt to Seattle. I believe they have a Concorde there (Boeing Field), and of course the Boeing 747 construction plant at Paine Fld. I know it ain't Airbus my friend, but it's a lot closer than Toulousse!!!
