mutley 4,498 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 That is an awsome plane, I just love to watch them in the RW. I like the livery, I wonder if AA members got a discount?! Great shots, thanks for posting. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,315 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I saw this aircraft in a video during an airline commercial and just recently downloaded it. A had to have it moment that sent me on a search quest, luckily it was available. Sweet flier that has been getting quite a bit of time air time on my machine. The AA texture is one of my favorites and enjoyed seeing your shots. I also have been using the float plane version for a change of pace (see Oct screenshot contest) and got hooked on pond hopping.

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 A lovely old aircraft, I,ve flown in a few of them, the last one being G-AKIF when she was based at Booker, downside was I and a couple of others had to clean and polish it first! All good fun though! Shortly after that she was moved to Duxford where the new operators promptly tipped her on her nose! Looking at the vintage AA livery I,d have been more inclined to show her in a more rural airfield or something with a more period setting. These aircraft are rarely seen at major hubs. Against the modern jets it looks slightly out of place, thats just my preference though. (Britsim do a fabulous rendition of Old Warden airfield in Bedfordshire and its freeware, there is also a freeware version of Croydon availiable as well but thats harder to find) That said a great set of shots of one of my favourite aircraft.

Gunfighter 0 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 @dodgy-alan, Yes must agrea she would of looked more at home at a public airfield instead of an international AP but I did taxi her in to the GA side of the AP. glad you liked the shots and thanks for your input.

Gunfighter 0 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 @dodgy-alan Is this the G-AKIF you spoke of ? Take off from Booker AP Grass Strip I think you missed those Engine covers when you cleaned it. lol Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Thats the very one ! brilliant. She was wearing those colours when she was at Booker. I,ll have to dig out the photos from my files. Theyre on 35m prints so will have to scan them in. We had some fun on that aircraft. On one flight the pilot spotted to naked girls lying by a private swimmming pool in a remote area of Buckinghamshire, They never did figure out why this big biplane started circling the house while us lot were inside with zoom lenses on our cameras! Secluded gardens are no protection from nosy fliers! :wootmesalia: Link to post Share on other sites
