Yes, the Fw189 was a better bet all round. Eric Brown flew the Bv141 and found it was nice to fly.

Is there a list somewhere of aircraft he didn't fly

[An amazing man - I've listened to his Desert Island Discs slot several times....]

[Eric Mc]

He flew over 400 different types of aeroplanes. That is impressive but there thousands of different types of aeroplanes.

His books are very informative on the aircraft he did fly.

Double Buddy Refuelling USAF style. I've no idea why they didn't just tank separately, if anyone can shed any light on the matter?



Now, here's a seriously cool image from Sunday's Cosford Airshow. I was on the BPAG stand showing people around XV490's cockpit, along with ex 'toom Navigators - now turned aviation authors - Dave Glehill and Caroline Paige.
When the Reds appeared all punters deserted our stand to watch, and I had a marvellous viewpoint from the top of the cockpit. Dave and Caroline grabbed their cameras and started composing all sorts of trick shots, and Dave managed to get this amazing picture of the diamond 9 barrel roll framed above 490. With the angle, you could be fooled into thinking she was still a complete aircraft! With me gazing longingly skywards, it's a picture that for me sums up everything we love about fast jets, displays, and aviation in general

Not sure if this one belongs in the bad parking thread...



View of a crashed U.S. Navy Boeing-Vertol UH-46D Sea Knight on the fantail of the ammunition ship USS Suribachi (AE-21). The helicopter experienced a mechanical faliure during an ammunition offload from the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower off Virginia (USA), in September 1992. Only one crewman was injured.

I don't see anything "amazingly cool". It's a good pic though.
