Danny Fenton Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 I did draw a line through the lead Hawk and Vulcan and removed it, the Vulcan pilot is way off I made it three inches CS why am I not surprised, any excuse to get another pic of that "dart" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Grigg Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Looks like mum and its little ones,like the way you can clearly see the pilot controlling the decent of the front as it slows down so the nose wheel lands gently.Are those sticking up things brakes?

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I assume Stephen's talking about the Vulcan's landing roll in the video - amaxing how long he could hold it in that high drag attitude during the roll-out - who needs parachutes!

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I reckon Red4 is about 0.000346mm out of position - disgraceful, standards are definitely dropping! BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Amazing video! At that speed/altitude you don't half gobble up the ground. And the red flashing light reflected in the windscreen is.... low altitude warning perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiran Arnold Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 More than likely the Camera record light, the Rad Alt warning is on the front of the Rad Alt with a audio tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger in Dubai Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I would say the red flashing light is from the camera being used and as I have a Go Pro camera I would say it is one of these. They give HD video and are superb. Have used it for all sorts of things including attaching to a fun fly plane, on a head mount whist parasailing and also for use whilst snorkelling. Perhaps someone from "Vulcan to the Sky" trust could comment on that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
