Classic British Flight Sim

Ok then, I shall fly this flight with a suitable representative aircraft! Im slightly surprised that the registration isnt recorded somewhere because the Royal flight would have made this foreign bird have a certain pedigree worth noting. Thanks to all.

So after a while with no responses, I am assuming nobody has the info on the tail number/registration for the DC-7C that carried the Royal Flight to Ottawa in 1957?

I am just discovering the work of Manuele Villa. This guy is great! I had not normally flown Italian aircraft, but have discovered a whole new group of great planes created by a freeware master. Great stuff and thank you to MV!

Gents, apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. Moderators please move to the correct forum if it isnt placed well. I have a flight tonight from Stansted headed to iceland which overflies Teeside EGNV. In observing the outside scenery I see that the oil tanks etc in FS9 are misplaced into ...

Gents, I need a little help in the historical context. I am working on completing all the various liveries of BOAC (and BEA...) DC-7C's for the time they were in service. See below for G-AOIF, in both historically correct white tail 1957 colors and circa 1962 in blue tail colors for the same airplan...

Kind regards
Eric

Dave you are likely much more of an expert on British airline history than I am! So I will stand corrected if wrong on the vanguard thing. Here is the image of the BEA/BOAC DC-7C I used as source. I will provide link only in order not to violate size rules on images. :lol: http://ejoiner.typepad.com...

Its real enough. I got the image from "Piston Powered Propliners" by Martin W. Bowman. Image appears on page 25 along with a couple of nice shots of BOAC DC-7C's G-AOIC and AOIA. BOAC had 10 DC-7C's that they purchased as a coping strategy waiting on the Vanguards. They operated them from ...

Just some pics of a new skin set I am working on for the Tom Gibson/Greg Pepper DC-7C. This aircraft G-AOIE, was delivered in December 1956 and served with both BOAC and BEA in her time before eventually being sold. She finished her service with Court Line and is now preserved In Waterford, IE. http...
