Colin Leighfield Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hi Jos, fascinating to see the (PC7s)? Flying with about 15 degrees of flaps and airbrakes extended. 110 knots or so? When I was a kid living in Great Barr, Birmingham, DC3s from British European Airways (BEA) were flying in and out of Birmingham Airport (Elmdon Aerodrome) all of the time. They were the most common things in the sky, although there was quite a lot of military around then, many Meteors and Vampires. BEA called the DC3 the "Pionair". My little brother went on a school holiday to Guernsey in, I think, 1956. I remember watching him board a PionIr outside the old art-deco terminal building and waving him off. Strong and lasting memories. Edited By Colin Leighfield on 15/03/2017 16:32:21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 @ Hi Colin , These are the '' new '' acro-pilots, because ''old''s went to work in Saudi Arabia, of course for better pay .... if they so well continue to fly so good , probably .... looking for a better payment .... Otherwise my first flight, in the life, was with the DC-3, when I was 4 years old in 1951, from Sinj airfield, where now, I fly my RC models. Dear Colin.... all the best Jos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I still haven't flown in a DC3, although I have flown in an An2 in Croatia! Never to be forgotten! Best wishes, Colin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Pic Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Very nice. I have visited Zadar a few times. On the first occasion my contact there explained how the city was changed in the Second World War and asked who we might think caused the damage which necessitated the rebuilding. The answer he provided when we came up blanks was "it was your RAF!!", which subdued the conversation a little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
