Fingers crossed it get started soon. out of curiosity, does anyone fly the Victor in FS (9 or X) and if so what panel do you use?

Re: Duxford Victor
Just after the Victor was moved indoors, I read that an initial inspection had found her to be in quite reasonable condition, despite outward appearances. It also mentioned that they were about to embark on a long-term restoration program, but clearly that has yet to start. I don't know how much the cut in funding is going to affect this, however. IWM has had to lay a number of staff off, and keep two exhibition buildings closed over the winter ( the Land Warfare Hall and Hangar 3 most of the time ). I suppose we should be grateful that at least she is out of the weather. If only they could get the DAS airliners indoors too...

Re: Duxford Victor
They've squeezed the Viscount in there now as well!
When I was there last year they were restoring the Herald, only the BAC 1-11 was looking tired of the Airliners outside but they could all do with some TLC every now and again.

Re: Duxford Victor
Victor and Shack still in the same state but the Viscount is outside (as of 9th Feb 11). Herald looks terrible and is also outside.
Re: Duxford Victor
Ukmil Victor is a cracker for sheer nostalgia....give it a whirl, you won't be disappointeddoes anyone fly the Victor in FS (9 or X) and if so what panel do you use?
It's so nice to be insane, nobody asks you to explain.
Re: Duxford Victor
I've got the Alphasim ones, but the panels are awful (as is the VC in FSX one) Visual model is pretty good though. Were the Victors built at Radlet?
