looks nicely modelled, but I'm just not a fan of the Marketplace. glad to see something a bit different and British. I'm surprised they didn't go for something like a Wessex though.

I thought there was a Caravelle in development elsewhere?

I saw in one of the MSFS development update pages that the next Famous Flyer will be a Caravelle (the 707 has been pushed back).

Hi Joe, I was meaning I thought a different developer was working on a Caravelle. I have a vague recollection of a team from a couple of years ago doing sound recordings with one of the Swedish Caravelles but my memory might be wrong

Probably to avoid arguments over whether or not the Wessex is a British local legend or an American one!

This!

Same logic applies to the Sea King, which I see a lot of people wishing for in place of the Wasp/Scout. Also the Dragonfly.

The Lynx, Gazelle and Puma can also be considered collaborations and not 100% British.

I think the Wasp/Scout was a great choice! All-British alternatives I can think of are the Skeeter, Sycamore or Belvedere... any others?

Regarding the iniBuilds models... I'd love to see the rear doors and floats from the Wasp as options on the Scout too!
