Hi Amo.

Love the Shorts stuff! I remember them coming and going from BHD. My bedroom window looked out of the docks and Sydenham... Now all we need is a model to match the quality of those drawings.

Thanks for the comments guys
F-27 - go Dutch on CBFS!!

- A statistic - 25% finished as I could you use the dart engine from herald (which will be coming again soon).

Would do it 1st in Air Anglia livery as I really liked seeing that at Edinburgh.
Cheers

:shock:

The Herald cowling and nacelle is very different form the F.27......but you knew that

60 % British...... :dance:

Seriously it would be nice to see a few European Airlines depicted as the F.27 was seen in the UK in many flavours right from the beginning with Aer Lingus.

Nice side views Amo

I remember Air Europe flying Shorts 360's into Manchester. Does anybody remember what routes they flew?

Hi Jetty

I think they did a Guernsey Manchester...........not sure though and possibly Jersey.

They were at one time Connectair.............later became Cityflyer Express

Thanks for that Garry!

They were also Euroworld but I can't remember if that was before of after Air Europe Express.......

Another Shorts operator that sticks in my mind of both the 330 and 360 was Genair in full BCAL Commuter livery.

That was the thing then...even Metropolitan that operated a Twin Otter out of Shoreham to the CI in full Dan Air livery.

Sure is enough to keep amo busy
