Hi. it was the size that made the decision. Some are around 900 megs. Anyway, I have allowed access for right-click. I still have a lot of fixed wind, and other odds. I am busy with the file descriptions at present.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

That must have been great as a young lad to have seen and heard things like that in the area you grew up. camo;

Hi. Warton was the Factory and the R&D field for the Lightning "P1B". To see the silver missile speed down the runway, lift its nose and go vertical with full afterburners was a noisy and wonderful sight. The magic thing is,
a guy in Cape Town by the name of Beachy Head "Honest" has a fleet of aircraft he uses for Pilot training and trips. Buccaneers, Lightnings and Hunters! I live on the North to South approach to Cape Town International.....Also fairly close to Ysterplaat Air Force Base which I pass twice a day, home of the Shackelton. Plus the Huey Base is 500 meters from where I work. The guy has around 9 of the devils!

I will dig some pics out of the bin and post them on my Fotopic site
