So You may have noticed some chat between Chris....I mean Mark at
HJGand myself over a certain paintjob - so I figured I'f take it out for
a jolly - Stansted-Kano to be precise


1/. Climbing out over Essex



2/. Dont know where they got there side views from but that looks standard
freightdog Douglas



3/. Allright enough teasing



4/. Early morning departure over the Thames Estuary



5/. Given the vintage - this would be turning over the VR - ask PeteP if you dont know LOL



6/. Still a Mighty looking beast 45 years on



7/.


AS soon as I can get permission from the painter Robert Dennard they will be uploaded to HJG and CBfiles


Enjoy

Great shots, Leif. I wish I'd still looked that good at her age.

Yes indeed memories - it was crazy cos when I built the plan for STN-KNO there shouldnt have been any organised airways south of NOU but lo and behold 30 years later there are a zillion of them

Older aircraft really look the business!

Leif, nice shots a question looking at the starboard side the titling seems different to the port side i.e. the AIRLINES text is above the line of the first set of text, now that could be ok as I ahve not seen any pictures of her in real colours?

Looks like you're right Tony

Only after you pointed it out does it become obvious :think:

[DispatchDragon]

you know what Ive just noticed myself - the lettering for IAS CARGO AIRLINES each word was a different "font" if you will but hadnt noticed if you look at the starboard side shot it tallies with the photo but the port doesnt -
soon as I get Roberts OK you want to Tighten it up a bit Tony???
