Happy Christmas to all, and thanks to all the developers, painters and testers who have provided the rest of us with so much enjoyment in our addiction! :smile: Far too often the nearest we get to gratitude is plague you for "what's next". Best of luck Vegas, I got engaged at Christmas 25 ...

Q8. Flight from Croydon to Paris, then train to Marseilles to board the P&O service to Alexandria, then train to Cairo and back in an aerial carriage to Karachi. (You could probably get a charabang from the Imperial offices in Victoria to Croydon as well)

Peter, You'll find John's Tiger at : http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/04fs/aircraft/dh82/DH82_FS2004.htm I think it is the best visual model of the three freeware ones available, the others being by Bill Lyons and an Aussie whose name escapes me. John has just updated the files for fs2004. I had b...

Best use of a Range Rover - or any other Chelsea Tank - I've ever seen. :lol: Mind you, continuity obviously never watched which side of the Aston the little Korean guy was shot out of. As if Bond would ever drive a nancy left-hooker! I've got the original Corgi to prove it, or at least my son has.

I thought it must be some perfectionist problem over seat fabric colour. :smile: I've only ever seen the pictures of both sides of one Mk. 1, G-AGLY on the dump at Hurn. It had windows on both port and starboard sides, but others may have had different s...

I've used it to stooge round various parts of the globe - tremendous range and handles well. Watch your fuel tank management or you'll end up one wing low on a long flight! Pity there's no BOAC seating option... Not that I ever go back that way, but it would allow for BOAC/QANTAS repaints. Well wort...
