There is one around for FS9( not all that brilliant tbh either) but not FSX sadly. I agree with you that a decent one should be developed. Just imagine the colour schemes that could be stuck on it! Would make a great CoD aircraft for the US Navy! .......and ours for that matter!

Long Delivery ...CL415 Venezuala to Yellowknife

Fantastic work, really well done, great captures along the way. -
Purely speculative, Fairey Rotodyne HC1, No18 Sqn RAF. Airfix 1/72 scale. Sadly the real aircraft never went into service due to several technical issues and lack of interest by the British government and several potential customers. The main technical problems, (noise from the Rotor Tip Jets being one of them) were virtually solved by the time the plug was pulled. Sadly the aircraft was broken up. Just one fuselage frame and part of the rotor head remains at the Helicopter Museum in Weston Super Mare. This model is based on the RAFs middle east colours of the mid 1960s and 70s. Thanks for lo

LOL! If they made them that real, Boultbee Flight Academy would go out of business. http://www.boultbeeflightacademy.co.uk/

Was up at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago and took a load of photos. Among them were some of one of the resident Mustangs. She took off on a local passenger joyride and as she did so I left the camera on continuous shoot. The result was one of the best photos that I've ever taken at the airfield. I got her in almost perfect silhouette across the sun. Anyway, here's just a few of the many, hope you like them. Thanks for viewing........

Apart from JFs PR9 and the Alphasim B57s there are few decent Canberras out there for FSX. (plenty for FS9!). This one is Virtavia's payware model which at £15 and with several different liveries is good value for money. I took this RAE aircraft out from Boscombe Down and flew southbound at first in a large oval circuit before finally landing at Fairford. Like most Canberras she climbs like a lift and is very stable. with flaps down in approach she is also very docile to handle even at low speeds. For what is now an older FS model she still holds her own amongst the newer competition and is a

Cowpat !

Nicely done, glad that you actually landed at your intended airport as opposed to 100 miles away as is often the case with Sleazyjet and Ryanair!

Seems to be sorted now, I think they had some sort of glich.

Fart!

That piece that landed on the UPS warehouse certainly travelled! Hope no-one was underneath the thing when it came through the roof! Must have been going like the clappers!

Looks great, well caught.

Great news for fans of British jets.....

I used to work with Jonathan Whaley when I was at Booker. He was considering buying a Bronco at the time and commissioned me to build him a model one. He also did some of our film work, the last one I was involved with being "The Wind in the Willows" where he was flying the Manning Flanders MF-1 whilst in the guise of Mr Toad! I later bumped into him at Bournemouth where he was flying Hunters out of there. He made himself highly unpopular on one occasion as he flew a T7 (G-HVIP) in and dumped the brake chute on the active runway! Great character and still one of the foremost Hunter pilots i -

The Hawker Hunter is my favourite all time aircraft. I have plenty in the hangar from various sources. Miss D being one of them. The real aircraft is up for sale in fact if you're interested! -
New Pilot and Plane for the Orkney Short Leg...maybe...

The DO228 is a great little aircraft, a worthy follow on to the DO28 Skyservant with which it shares some commonality. Ideal for the island hopping routes, though retracting and lowering the gear seems pointless on the shorter runs. If you get a chance fly up to Barra where you land on the beach! But be warned if it's just after the tides gone out the aircraft could get bogged down or worse! -

Absolutely, brought a lot back from Scotland a few weeks ago. Among them an 18 year old Jura!
