Hi everyone, been reading the forum for a while now and finally decided to join up! Used to spot as a kid, but gave it up for many years, but returned to the hobby 10-12 years back. Always look forward to my annual trip down south to the London airports in the summer, and get over to Man from time to time. Looking forward to making the occasional contribution. Getting more interested in the OTT part, but up in North Yorks we don't get that much going over!

Welcome to CA Simon, it's good to have another Yorkie aboard. :D :thumb:

Aah, not a Yorkie I have to say! A southerner in exile. Used to sit in my garden in Bracknell as a 12 year old watching VC-10's and Tridents going in and out of Heathrow. Those were the days.

Yes indeed they were. I think the Caravelle was the loudest, but the VC-10 had a shriek all of it's own. Could tell it was a 10 on climb out just by that sound. Miss those birds.
