New Life For Cliffs Of Dover?

[MB_Avro_UK]

Hi all,

My new son who is four months old is very interested in Cliffs of Dover. The photo is of me carrying him around the Old Warden museum and next to their Hurricane.

I will post more photos of him soon admiring the images of Cliffs of Dover as I fly! :cool:

Another Hurricane pilot in the making!

My boy (8yrs old) has got to the stage where he'll come up and ask to play 'The Flying Game!"

I'll bump the difficulty down to easy and get him into the low level interception mission. Every so often he'll come and get me to reset the mission.

Hmmm! Might be time to get a second PC up and running!

Trouble is, he's a bit wary of the flash from the camera. Hence the closed eyes!!

Cool. Some of the next generation simmers like I am/was. I remember my father telling me a story about when I was either 3 or 4 and I was trying to teach my grandfather (who flew in the Vietnam war) how to land an aircraft.

There also is a photo of me at 6 or 8 (can't remember which) flying a helicopter virtually with my sidewinder joystick in my lap. Ah those were the days.

I am right now 16, I love to continually do flight sims and it actually helped me decide what I want to go to college for, aerospace engineering. I also am right now trying to get a part time job to pay for pilot's lessons since I got my first one for Christmas. Right now have clocked .5 hours of flying time in a logbook for real life and probably several thousand virtual hours. :cool:

My son is 1 and a half and he is straight over to the computer the minute he hears the 109 start up! If he so much as hears a hint of CloD starting up and I dare to change my mind and start up another program, he kicks off! :D

[Freycinet]

congrats on your lovely boy!

Looks a bit like Churchill to me.
'Tis a sign.
:-)

He's lucky to have a dad who will show him museums and aircraft.

A young Churchill,perhaps?

He has an obvious affinity for Rise of Flight ;)

be careful of that, they are very wary then incredibly interested in anything camera or phone shaped that makes lights

[arthursmedley]

Avro, what a little beauty!!

[MB_Avro_UK]

He has become a troublemaker. (Obviously takes after his mother ;))

I don't know, blond hair, blue eyes trying to bend the prop of a red plane...possible a saboteur you are raising :grin:

[MB_Avro_UK]

Ah....there is a complication.

He is an Anglo-SAXON ;)

He is a bit older now. (20 months). Today, we went again to the Shuttleworth Museum. There had been heavy rain the night before and there was some minor flooding. He likes the aircraft.
