Unfortunately, just as Jim advanced the loud levers to take off power...my shiny brand spanking new digital camcorder decided it didnt like its environment...too much vibration maybe ?...and decided to throw its Teddy out of the Cot and stopped recording. It then gave me the option of trying to save the stuff I'd recorded but it failed....miserably !. I was not impressed, no sireeee not at all.
I have to say, that even with the intercom headsets, the noise and feeling of absolute raw power put out by those two radials during the take off run, is something I will remember, till the day I follow Lefty....absolutely brilliant !
I did however manage to get a lot of footage during the rest of the flight...the trip under the pilots seats to the front position, the crawl over the Wing into the mid section, the trip to the rear gun slot, and a few bits 'n' bobs out of the waist gun positions, so if any if theres no objections, I'll try and upload some more over the coming week.
