  1. Which Orchestra is this, I have a couple of old recordings of similar compositions (Normal rock songs played by an orchestra) with the London Symphony Orchestra. Nice touch to add the Richard Burton reading of it.

    According to the blurb m8, it's Jeff Wayne conducting The Black Smoke Band and The ULLAdubULLA Strings. Apparently.

  2. I guess it's not all that surprising that IL2 is not able to utilise the extra hp available when running a crossfire setup - after all, the gfx engine pre-dates any sort of clever stuff like SLI (anybody remember the old Voodoo II? - you could run two of those coupled together ISTR).

    Having said that, would it not be worth hanging on to the kit you've already paid for in readiness for future games that would utilise it?

  3. If the accomodation is looking dodgy then I will be taking my VW camper...there is a site I have used before about 9 miles away from Duxford at Cherry Hinton, south of Cambridge. Could offer basic "camping type" accomodation to 2 - 3 people if they wanted it. Obviously a "bed and breakfast"/hotel etc would be more comfortable but, hey, if needs must.

    A journey to Hendon camper-style might be a little sedate though.....

    Sounds like fun

  4. "No one would have believed that in the first years of the 21st century that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swam and multiply in a drop of water. few men even considered the possibility of life on an other planet and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regared this Earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surley, they drew their planes against us......."

    One of the best intro's ever - nice one Colin

  5. Anyone know how the public transport is from Luton airport to Duxford?

    Did a look on Michelin.com route planner and it says they're only 57Km apart, not too shabby.

    ~S~ John, have a look at www.thetrainline.com. I reckon you can go from Luton Airport to Whittlesford Parkway (the station next to the Red Lion) by going to West Hampstead by train, then tube to Liverpool St and finally train to Dux in about 2.25 hours on a Saturday morning leaving Luton at 6.14 and getting to Duxford at 8.30 in time for brekkie. Off-peak return ticket is (I think) £33.00.

    Apart from travel to and from the duxford area what sort of costs are we talking about here?. I will not be in the country at the time, and will quite probably be flying to stansted airport, if I go

  6. Check my pictures from Legends 2007, the example at Duxford is one of theirs - a really nice piece of work. I like how they've managed to retain the full designation by calling the company FlugWerke so they still get the fw!

  7. Thanks very much Jabo. Must say I am very tempted. I do love that Red Lion draft beer.

    :bg:

    Ah yes, that'll be the Adnams Broadside then - a proper ale. Slips down a treat...

    Nice to see the possibility of some new faces as well as some old ones...That's old as in familiar, not...oh never mind - I think this hole's quite deep enough.

  8. Just thought, I'd chuck a thread up here for next year's shindig.

    Flying Legends 2009 - July 11th & 12th.

    No racing at Newmarket on that weekend, so accomodation should be easier to arrange than this year.

    Sadly, TFC's Mk18 Spit which was resident at Dux has been sold, but an inside source tells me that this is to make way for a 'new, exciting addition' to the TFC fleet - I wonder...

    That's about it for now - only 246 days to go!

    Just in case you were forgetting!

  9. You know Jabo, putting it in a smaller font doesn't make you any sneakier.....

    Really? Damn... ;)

    The way I grabbed them TOAD was to have the realplayer IE plugin installed which gives you the option to download streaming media. It doesn't work on every site (BBC iPlayer for example), but seems to here...The other alternative would be to use a suitable Firefox addin (there is one, I just can't remember the name right now)

    Hope this helps...
