Re: For the mods: Is the Pilatus PC-7 considered a "classic"?

Hmmm....I would love to see some shots of the belly on those planes as I am having some major problems trying the get more than one colour to play nicely together on the flat underside area just fore and aft of the wings. It seems like there is a UV map problem in there and things get 'stretched' an...

Re: Oy, mind the merchandise Rodney!

He he, I downloaded that last week! I linked it to my F.3 Tornado sounds instead of the puny Lear and it sounds much better now! :lol:

I just wish I could add 'dancing diamonds' to the back. :dance:

Re: For the mods: Is the Pilatus PC-7 considered a "classic"?

I spent 12 hours on it yesterday and I have most of it done, just the little bits and bobs and text to do now. :welldone: It's looking pretty slick and I very pleased with my first attempt at repainting. I will post a pic or two ...

Re: Return of the Welkin

Very nice! Well done! :dancer: I must show my ignorance of this mark now by admitting I had never heard of it before and had to go Googling images and text info. I had of course heard of the Whirlwind but never the Welkin. It certainly seems like a very interesting aircraft built for a specific role...

Re: The ideal CB flypast?

What about a FAA flight too (that's Fleet Air Arm not that yankee outfit! :lol: ) coupled with Coastal Command.

You could have Vampires, Vixens, Venoms, Buccs, Sea Hawks etc. and for the heavier side a Shack, Nimrod and Sunderland!

Re: RAF Gaydon...

Yeah I remember a toy shop like that from my youth too. They had a big display in the window and three pushbuttons on the window ledge outside so that you could run one of the three active tracks. There always seemed to be a greasy smear across the window at kiddie nose height too for some reason! :...

Re: RAF Fylingdales and its cliche

No Golfballs indeed. They were dismantled several years ago....probably more than 10 years, and replaced with the current set up. So that's why I couldn't find them on Google Earth the other day when I was trying to show them to my Canadian wife! I guess you lose touch with some things when you are...
