Oct 1997 RAF Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands.
Because I got them out of the crap, got a clean wing back seater in a Tornado F3.
Amongst other stuff,
7G turn into A6 alley, barrel rolled over the ridge into attack run on a frigate in San Carlos water.
Out over the sea for loop the loop and cuban twists followed by supersonic.
You can't buy thatBut I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment

Wow! What did you say you did to earn that ride? Bet you needed a strong stomach for that!
An ex BF of mine used to fly for Brymon Airways (who I doubt many of you would have heard of as they were a very small regional airline serving the south west).
He would often do the Plymouth - Channel Islands run on a Friday night and I'd often go along for the ride in the cockpit. Used to be quite a long turnaround too so we'd get to have dinner before heading back.
No barrel rolls though! Don't think my stomach could have coped after a slap up binge at Crabby Jacks...Comment

I was on Concorde just after Christmas, that is one cosey plane for a man my size.
My Aunt took 30 of the family to the Fleet Air Arm Museum for our Xmas family get together.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Originally posted by ASB View PostUsed to fly lhr - newquay with them fairly regularly. Then BRS-CDG very regularly. That's when they still had the dash 7's. Seem to recall they moved onto dash 8's before getting soaked into BA.
My ex was flying Dorniers when he was with them.Comment

Yep, back in '91 they established the hub at BRS. This was still a very small airport then. As the expansion got granted I think BA sensed the opportunity to add routes so it became part of BA connect mid-late 90s. Think that means it is now effectively in FlyBe hands - who still operate some of those routes.Comment
