Classic British Flight Sim

As some of you may know in the 'real world' I'm a creative director at an ad agency. So at work we're Mac based... so no flightsim 9.00-500!

But I've just ordered X-Plane 9 for the MAC and it's not been known for great models and classic British airframes, but it seems things are getting a lot better! How about this for a half decent Trident...

Any Trident is better than none at all John

Looks like a bit of cribbing off the Duxford example for font types Trident two was only displayed thus on out of service aircraft.. source.. His lordship, Sir Maxwell Kingsley hyphen Jones.. author of the worlds finest Trident tome :drinkers:

I quite like it actually.. the font that is

Just noticed the nosewheel doors are wrong as only the 1C had both open on the ground

I hated Tridents with a vengeance in 1973/4, even at the age of 8, I was gutted when the Vanguards disappeared from their last pax stronghold the LHR-EDI route. The shortish 6000ft crosswind 13/31 runway kept them at bay for a while, but some thirty odd years later I have found myself mellowing. You can't but admire it's technology, exciting cockpit and, though I thought I'd never admit it, rather good looks. Maybe time for my first jet type rating :o ....

At least it comes in BEA flavours

I always quite liked them as I was one of the few that liked the Red Square livery at the time....in fact I was the only one I knew that did.

So anything Red Square I liked apart from the One-Eleven which I love but not in Red Square

Garry..

You missed the point matey I didn't say that Trident Two wasn't displayed on the centre nacelle.. I said it wasn't painted as shown in Johns's shot OR as painted at Duxford. The font is wrong for 'in service' Trident 2's ;-)
