Who the hell is Captain Slog?

[Visitor66]

Filton, Bristol. The year? 2039. 70 years since Concorde flew from here. Captain Slog's testing a very used Orion spaceplane.
She'll get a fresh coat of paint and be sold to some rich kid.

What was that noise?..............Filton we have a problem


Awaiting your reply Filton......................


...................................... Telemetry indicates a faulty Uzamatron..................


.......................................... Major Tim says there's a spare in the Dog treats box......


................................ That's the best we can do, Good Luck!................






Hot approach!



Back home and by the way, that's my last flight, I'm retiring.

Thanks to the pure genius of (Major) Tim(Piglet)Conrad for his beautiful B7072 spaceplane.

Outstanding set! Great narration too. Could you provide a link for this bird?
I have to admit I've never seen this one before

Thank you all for your kind comments, they're really appreciated!

Chuck, she's from right here on Simviation, the old site I think?

I like any of Tim Conrad's aircraft though, you really feel as if your actually in a vehicle.

The idea came from looking at some old screenshots this week, the space ones were from May this year, I'd re-installed FSX and the Orion's instruments

weren't showing up (the old dll. problem, I think), then had the idea of the failure "up there", the rest is history, as they say.

Cheers again, Ford.

To you all , for inspiring me!

No idea who the heck Capt Sloq is (was? Didn't he retire as suddenly as he showed up?), but those are some awesome (A sadly overused word, I know) pix! I especially love the Piglet's propensity to put the dogfood container/dispenser on every one of his planes! I've got an OV-10 of his that has an airborne dispenser. I guess that's for spreading a lot of Purina in a wide swath fast...Guess it's a good way to bribe the local wolves, maybe?
Anyway, thanks for the pix! Look forward to seeing more!

Thanks for bringing this to the fore again there is SO much stuff in the archives that is classic and gets forgotten.

Also remember there is nothing in the old site that isn't in the new site -- here is a link with lots of repaints too

Thanks for looking Phantom (Pat), I love your comment about the Purina dispenser there!........
Yeah that Bronco is great to fly isn't it?

Maybe the Captain will show up again, I suppose if he had a last flight, he must have had a first one etc. too?

I do have some ideas with other themes as well, but this one just sort of clicked with me.
I'll be working on the others sometime soon I expect.

Cheers, Ford (Laurie).

Thanks for the info Pete, it's good to know that all the good stuff is still around on the site.

I'll be going back to get the other repaints very soon, she's such a quality piece of work, that she deserves a new coat for autumn!

Cheers, Ford (Laurie).
