Hello David:

With other communications to me, all can now be revealed! The cockpit
instrumentation was those of 3D, hence I was not seeing the cockpit I can
remember. However, I have banished the 21st century instrumentation and
behold I have all dials working and flying blind to the Nimitz.

One point to note: in properties, yesterday, after instrumentation, there
was a limited number of extensions and TACAN was not there. Today, thanks to
your Jpeg, all is now there.

If it was not for the fact that many others have said that it was there and
the dials were working, I would not have tried to find the problem alone. I
know that when I load FG, not everything loads and that's fact. Some days
flying is good and others are head in a bucket day.

Someone mentioned Hunters and not RN aircraft. Poppycock, Hunters were given
hooks and there were still some around at RNAS Brawdy (SW Wales), when I was
there with Gannets.

Something for all developers/builders of aircraft. All naval aircraft were
designed to fly from the deck without catapults. Why? Should there be a
breakdown. There were both steam and hydraulic ones operating. Observers
were mentioned. They were there for Airborne Early Warning (AEW) gannets and
Vixens and helicopters. Scimitars, followed by Buccaneers and then Phantoms
were for specific rolls.

Dangerous games on flight decks! On Ark Royal during the 12 months I was on
her in the Far East - 1965/66, we lost 16 aircraft and 7 aircrew. Two of
those in one day

Today, on landing on Nimitz at full throttle, catch No2 Wire, I carried on
and was left hanging over the deck!!! When instant replaying to give you a
snap shot, I found that the aircraft replays, but Nimitz carries on
regardless and is to be seen a couple of miles further on her course.

Just some snippets from going down memory lane.

With Kind Regards

Martin
