Chrislea Aircraft

Post by Molyned »

Not an aircraft manufacturer which springs readily to mind but another British light aircraft manufacturer of yesteryear.
Following a request, I've just uploaded two of their aircraft to FlightSim.com so they'll appear in the next few days.
Both are for FS2004 and fly in FSX as well. They are - the Chrislea Super Ace

and the Chrislea Sky Jeep

These were both originally published on the now-defunct Britsim site.
Cheers :cheers:

When I worked at Fairoaks in 1960/61, there was a wingless Ace gathering dust in the hangar. It was awaiting renovation, but I never saw anybody go near it. I don't know the reg.

:dunno:

Interesting - of the 18 built, apparently only 3 were sold & remained here, the rest being sold abroad.
However, some were later sold and returned here, so ... who knows.
Two Aces are still airworthy here - G-AKVF & G-AKUW.

Er, just checked and the two aircraft are now up at Flightsim.com. Something strange about their downloads numbering system
because it seems each has been d/l'ed over 100 times already. :S

Thanks for building these, Dave!
Was I asleep at the yoke, or did you not get us to beta test these for you?

Relax Mike - you missed nothing. These two aircraft were first published a few years ago on the now defunct Britsim.com site :( . They were not uploaded to any other site because I didn't think the world at large would be interested in a couple of eccentric ancient Brits (quiet at the back !) . I was wrong it seems.
BTW the D.H.51 should be posted this weekend. :excited:
Cheers :cheers:
