Well I am over double thirty now and came late to it all. However, I started
with an Acorn 4000 computer in 1994, and if anyone else remembers the Acorn
Flight Sim 'Chocks Away' I am sure they will agree that it was one of the
very best for exciting game play. If I could get hold of a copy I wd love to
have another go at it, as I have just bought the excellent Virtual Acorn
program which allows one to play all the Acorn games and Apps on a PC even
with Windows XP.
