As you may have seen from other forums, our DC-6 G-APSA has been repainted into 1950's KLM colours. She will be staring in a Dutch film about the 1953 London-Christchurch air race, due to be shot at the end of September. Before then you can she her display at Portrush, Hamburg and Jersey airshows.
Very beautiful paint scheme. I do hope they'll cover the registration or digitally remove it during the filming. They didn't do it on our plane during "Walk The Line" and it looks odd to see a massive US "Stars and Bars" and "N582P" clear as day next to it. Nevermind that the "Stars and Bars" aren't correct for a USAF C-131H, but at least they did get a CV-580 which is more than most films do.
Tom, did you over to Holland with her? A whole lot of Dutch FSimmers from the SOH have posted shots of this wonderful new scheme at an airshow on Saturday. They were well impressed!
Now there's a wonderful sight! A shame I didn't know about it as I would have gone to Lelystad to see her.
Due to shortages and cutbacks the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off.
