• 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.

Just some screenshots from a flight around Compton-Abbas in the Virtavia 1932 Gee Bee R-2. (Been watching too many of these videos lately: https://www.youtube.com/user/airrideGTI/videos)

I grew up with models and posters of this aircraft spread around the house, so I've always had a keen interest in the type. I think the Virtavia model captures the aircraft very well.

Can't look at that without thinking of Delmar Benjamin and getting to see him Fly at Oshkosh with the AMAZING Gee Bee Racer
 
Thanks for the pics John! I'm always up for anything Gee Bee.

I've been doing a "walkabout" flight in the Alabeo Z. Last night it was from Goose Bay Labrador to BGBW in Greenland in one of my fictional paints for the start of the cross Atlantic bit.
