This should be quite fun aircraft to fly.

Like the real thing....it can be a little tricky on pitch at low speed.
Most CL-44 pilots describe it as being "rather odd"
A few crashed on landing ending up upside down in the process
Although I've not managed that............yet

Is that a CL-44 at the bottom of your posts, Garry? I didn't know BOAC operated them...

Ah Chris.I wondered how long before someone queried it..not that many queried the Viscount 801 that was on the sig before......the Viscount 801 was never built
Yes..

.leased from Seaboard. They considered buying a fleet but instead leased a Seaboard aircraft and crew whilst awaiting their Boeing 707 336C which they ordered instead
There may have been three aircraft operated.....not sure, but only one in BOAC livery.
I've not finished that paint....not done the titles yet
