If it is restored to airworthy status, there'll be precious little of the original left. I'm with Arthur here - the only two substantially complete airframes known to exist are at the RAF Museum Hendon and that one is essentially displayed 'as found' (i.e. a wreck albeit a near complete one) since the airframe was considered far too fragile for a fully weight bearing restoration and the other is a part composite-part replica example at Elvedon in Yorkshire. Neither of those will ever fly so after being broken in three and soaked in seawater for over seventy years I think an airworthy restoration is highly unlikely to say the least in this case. That said, another example is very welcome! Good luck to 'em I say!

Yep, a "holy crap!" moment right there.

Oh my...

So how could we make that happen? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perhaps we could charge them rent?

You know you have a flightsim problem when you look at the real thing and think, "yeah, I'd definitely tweak the deadzone on that"

Some pretty impressive low-fleigening there. Fen will approve I'm sure (despite no P-38)

Have you tried telling the phone company there's a war on?

Same here - lol

Incidentally, a 600 or 650w PSU would be fine for your requirements Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, that's the way it tends to work. Make sure you buy the unlocked 'K' variant of your CPU and it'll easily overclock to over 4GHz (my old 2500K i5 is stable at 4.1 GHz - air cooled too - I don't run it at that though, dialled it back to 3.8 and it shaves about 10 reg off the core temps - should extend the lifespan) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3.5GHz in standard mode, 3.9GHz in turbo. 1 point about the SSD Mel, ensure you use a SATAIII compatible data cable and plug it into a SATAIII port on the mobo - no point in squandering horsepower for the sake of a few extra quid. Actually thinking about it, I've got a few spare SATAIII data cables - I'll let you have 'em.

It'll do (that mobo is socket 1151 yes?) - The EVGA 980 is the better card IMO

I have taken the (probably significant) liberty of running that youtube clip through some professional conversion software I happen to have around the place and created an mp3 from the soundtrack for anyone who wants to add it to their iTunes or what-have-you. It's in the vault now and here's the link.

Indeed. Love it. ~S~

No keyboard problems here, my secondhand G15 works fine in win 10. Just a thought, have you tried another keyboard? You might have a compatibility problem. I'm not suggesting you spend any more than about £10, but if you get a cheapo v. standard keyboard and try that (always useful to have a spare too IMO) it might help point to the root cause of the problem.

I agree, the Patrouille have been better value for money recently

I'd be happy to act as a ferry pilot as well as a regular.
