Any chance of a pembroke?

[Anders Samuelsson]

Hello!

I was just wondering if there is any chance of the Pembroke ever being included in the line up?

Hi Andy

A decent Pembroke model would be a good start but I don't think they were ever in airline service were they? In fact the Pembroke was a military spec aircraft. The Prince was the civvie version it came from. They were more your company hack or sold for specific duties rather than airline use. I think you're probably onto a loser with this one mate

The Pembroke was a Prince with a new high aspect ratio wing. The civil version of the Pembroke was the President...not too many of those , although there were quite a few civil Princes

In the military the Navy used the Prince as the Sea Prince and the Air Force had the Pembroke.

No airline use that I can recall. In civvie street exec/hack transport and calibration use

Hi chaps,

We have some mil routes for the likes of the Andover. I'm just not sure if there is a model for it, but if there is we might be able to knock up a few routes.

There was a Pembroke model for FS.9...looked nice but AFAIR didn't have animated controls...or am I imagining that???

The controls I mean, not the Pembroke...there was one of those.

The RAF did regular communications so that could be a schedule of sorts between UK bases and West Germany

Good idea Ben...lack of airline use of the 780 didn't stop something for the VA.

I'm sure I recall someone posting here of them being used in West Germany and West Berlin. Its an interesting type and deserves a good model (apologies if there is one out there that I don't know of)

One of the last...if not the last Pembroke was German based...I think it was XL929 at RAF Wildenrath.

The official role was described as liaison.

I think the WGAF had them as well.

One of those type that did it's job so well it never really got noticed. Too many type become famous for the wrong reasons...why is Joe Public so familiar with the DC 10 but not the TriStar.

The Pembroke did it well and for many years...just got on with the job.

G'day Andy
There certainly was an FS9 Pembroke, don't know if it's still out there.
Paint jobs included the RAF in Germany as mentioned by our Garry above.
Undercarriage is animated-steering & retracting. Control surfaces not animated.
My installation is:
Model by Manfred Jahn,
Panel by Lars Fors,
Leonides radial sounds by Gary Jones.
If you can't get it on line, let me know and we'll see what may be done.

[Garry Russell]

Ah yes Mike

By Manfred...that's the one I was thinking of.

Hi guys!

Thanks for all the responses. I have the model you are describing and be it that it does not have animated control surfaces it does have flaps, gears and animated nose gear and it flies nicely. I downloaded the model from rbdesign (that has it in swedish air force livery) and a nice panel.

I've been reading up and I know they weren't used in civil service but maybe like the andover a few military routes?
