Classic British Flight Sim

Look at the colors the old bird is going to be painted in next! I believe these are the delivery colors.

Wasn't she Chinese when new?

Garry

Canadian, not Chinese.

But maybe the colours when delivered to Eagle?

And from elsewhere the sequence goes: C-FCZY,C-FMCK,G-APSA,HZ-ADA,4W-ABQ,G-APSA,


EDIT:

Yes Ian

You're right.... I always get them confused ....the Chinese one which was a CIA spyplane alledgedly is G-SIXC.

I guess Tom menas the livery when first G-APSA a livery that was quickly abandoned, may have been the only one painted thus???

And those registrations would suggest it was Canadian Pacific and then Maritime Central before Eagle. All in a space of 3 months so perhaps the CP (CF-CZY) reg was not taken up

Different scheme for an Eagle Britannia :o

Ian

Not check the DC 6 but that sounds likely :think:

That Britannia was the first delivered to Eagle leased form Cubana and the livery you see is that which was current at the time. It featured heavily in a Propliners article on BEIA Britannias published some years ago.

I painted a Viscount in that version.

Two videos on the sidebar are also worth seeing : the 109, which has an altogether coarser sound than a Merlin, and looks a real pig to land ( as is said to be the case) and the Mitchell

You're right - "delivery colors" must have meant British Eagle delivery. Maritime Central only had it for a short time, as I remember for charters that didn't quite work out.

Tom

You have to remember that with pedants like Garry and me on this forum ;-) , everything has to be exact.
