A Trident for the office!

Post by John »

As some of you may know in the 'real world' I'm a creative director at an ad agency. So at work we're Mac based... so no flightsim 9.00-500!

But I've just ordered X-Plane 9 for the MAC and it's not been known for great models and classic British airframes, but it seems things are getting a lot better! How about this for a half decent Trident...

Any Trident is better than none at all John :rock:

Looks like a bit of cribbing off the Duxford example for font types :) Trident two was only displayed thus on out of service aircraft.. source.. His lordship, Sir Maxwell Kingsley hyphen Jones.. author of the worlds finest Trident tome :drinkers:

I quite like it actually.. the font that is :)

Just noticed the nosewheel doors are wrong as only the 1C had both open on the ground

I hated Tridents with a vengeance in 1973/4, even at the age of 8, I was gutted when the Vanguards disappeared from their last pax stronghold the LHR-EDI route. The shortish 6000ft crosswind 13/31 runway kept them at bay for a while, but some thirty odd years later I have found myself mellowing. You can't but admire it's technology, exciting cockpit and, though I thought I'd never admit it, rather good looks. Maybe time for my first jet type rating :o ....

cheers

At least it comes in BEA flavours :)

I always quite liked them as I was one of the few that liked the Red Square livery at the time....in fact I was the only one I knew that did. :)

So anything Red Square I liked apart from the One-Eleven which I love but not in Red Square :$

Garry..

You missed the point matey :) I didn't say that Trident Two wasn't displayed on the centre nacelle.. I said it wasn't painted as shown in Johns's shot OR as painted at Duxford. The font is wrong for 'in service' Trident 2's ;-)
