Classic British Flight Sim

A few for the whirlybird fans on the forum.


Bristol 192 Belvedere


Fairey Rotodyne


Westland Westminster (note the Rotodyne in the background)


Lualdi L-59

OK, I know the last one isn't British but I thought I might be able to get away with the odd "interloper" on the grounds of "historical interest"! ;-)

Thats the first time I've seen a westminster. It looks very like a "Black Hawk" :think:

Brilliant again Pete.

As is often the case Ben, there's very little that's really new :think: Smashing shots again Pete. Love the Rotodyne and the little L-59. Looks like it started life as a boat

That L-59 is cracking, looks like you could pop down to the shops in it and then tuck it away in the garage at night.

I'll have to get me one!

Hadn't seen the L-59 before, it looks like a cross between the Cessna CH-1 (yes they did make a helicopter once!) and a Hiller 12.

I think the L-59 looks like a cartoon character with it's almost dog like face

Wouldn't look out of place in a Thomas the Tank engine film

It's quite cute in a way

They already have one of those Garry.. an S-55 called Harold as I remember (I thought it looked a bit like a cartoon dog too)

Ah CBFS....we have the gen that really matters

If you can't find it in G-INFO.. look in any publication by the Rev W V Awdry

Rev W V Awdry...a name up there along with J W R Taylor and Ian Allan

I don't know how well the L-59 flew...perhaps not as I've never heard of it outside that timeframe.......but the kid's would have loved it
