Desert Skipper Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Didn’t realise the heritage centre was back open. Thought it was gone for good after COVID. There’s something about the cabin of that APT that makes me want some shortbread and a cuppa. 2 “There is perhaps no better a demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.” Carl Sagan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hallucinating Goose Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I saw a Piaggio Avanti earlier. Funny little plane that one with its small forward wing on its nose and its main wing set very far back on the fuselage behind all the passenger seating. Oddest feature with it though is its pusher turboprops, you don't see a pusher configuration too often these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 I have booked this Friday off work. Partly to do a bit of Birthday present shopping, but also* to ride the new Elizabeth Line/Crossrail a bit and explore the new station areas. *mainly.
