Superb shots, Eddie! Like the boys said - they could be real.
I don't suppose you've still got the full size original of number two have you? That might look rather nice as my desktop background - if the dimensions work out (1366x768?).

Hi Ian,
I will gladly send you the original screenshot. This one you see here automatically gets reduced by photobucket.
PM me your e-mail address.

I have to say - this is one of the best backgrounds I've had for a long time. You'd have to get up close to realise it's not a photo.
Well, that and the fact that cameras weren't as good then
Many thanks, Eddie.

Could you imagine John Thatcher having a BEA aircraft as the wallpaper on his pc

My pleasure Ian.
Glad you like it. Looks nice as a desktop.

Oh Lord! You won't tell him, will you?
Actually, that BEA livery is my favourite classic. I think it's more iconic even than the gold speedbird - but of course the GS arouses more happy memories!
Possibly, if I wait long enough, Eddie might create something of beauty featuring a little standard VC10 with a GS. Who knows?

He was already on form today Ian without me adding to his demeanor
I lost count of how many times I heard 'Best Ever Airline' too
I'm sure Eddie wouldn't mind doing something similar with a 'Standard' mate

Hi guys,
I like a challenge.
However I won't get much 'flying time' now until Saturday evening.
I try my best to post a picture over the weekend. Just in the BOAC livery then Ian?

JUST????!!!!! Cheeky monkey
No pressure, Eddie. Only if you happen to be flying one past a nice, fluffy cloud and press the button ...
Actually, I don't want one just yet because then I won't know which desktop to choose. Oh wait a minute, I've got W7 so I can set up a theme with rotating classic aircraft - there's an idea!
Eddie, I just need about twelve assorted classic jets, please, mate
I'll let you have a go on my new bike
Ian
