There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'll try it later tonight and let you know how I get on. Just got back from Midland Air Museum in Coventry and been crawling all over a real one...!
Thanks again

I didn't realise that Coventry had a MiG-21 on display. I was in that neck of the woods a few weeks ago (in Rugby) and would have made a diversion had I known. Can the general public gain access to the exhibits?
Yes they have a Mig-21PFM and it is accessible; they acquired it from Duxford in 2001. It was flown in to Duxford from the GDR in 1989 apparently and is completely original - down to the totally tread-bare tyres! Sorry didn't take photos. If you talk nicely to the guys on a weekday they'll let you get up close to any of the exhibits. A rare treat!
Remind me to never go there on a weekday and talk nicely to the staff. I'd end up humping that MiG-21.![]()

Dave, this thread:

Discussed how to start it. It's evidently a 13 step process! I have the plane too, looks very nice, but I haven't been motivated to learn the start procedure so I haven't flown it yet, just looked around the cockpit!![]()
