The first aircraft I ever flew in was an Auster, from Ringway which is now Manchester Airport. That would have been in 1949 or thereabouts.
Visiting Ringway for aero-spotting I was familiar with the De Havilland Dragon Rapides, but on a holiday at Blackpool I did a round the tower joyflight in a De Havilland Dragon, which had preceded the "Rapide".

Just now at GameRanger we have been flying Moggy's IRAQ. In that part of the war De Havilland Dragons were used as enemy bombers, so we flew a co-op intercept.

At the moment I an transferring a heap of stuff from my old laptop, including the source code for a "tardata.dat" reader and editor.
Using the current one I am getting a CTD on one of the versions of the IRAQ "tardata.dat" file, and running it in source code will allow me to find out what is causing it. It may be a fault in the program, or a dodgy value in the file. I was trying to locate instances of camels.

Iraq mounted forces were tmod54 in the original Iraq scheme, with the skinfile "Gcamel",



Inevitably Shreck's creation. Intended as moving targets.
