Twin tailed prop plane

Post by srob » Tue Sep 25, 2018 6:16 pm

Hi,

I live locally to lakenheath and just saw a strange plane coming in to land. It was twin tailed, twin prop engines and looked to be a dark grey colour with orange or red ‘highlights’.

Not much to go on but not one I’ve seen go over before!

Just seen the photos in the photo section and mentions it was in the “heads up” bit.

Odd rule that us mere mortals can’t even view that bit until we’ve made 5 other posts.

why's that odd? It's the same for everyone, there's no singling out of 'mere mortals' as you put it. You join, post 5 times, you get access its as simple as that. There were very good reasons why that was put in place which I'm sure the moderation team would gladly share with you if you ask them. :thumb:

It’s strange as it means there must be ten of these kind of posts asking a question that could’ve been answered without what’s an inane (by me) post had I been able to view that part of the forum.

Maybe there is a good reason but in all my years of using forums I’ve never come across such a rule before. I understand not being able to post until a specific number of posts is reached, but never unable to view.
