Hi All (Most probably aimed at Garry here

)
Did anyone repaint the Merchantman in the Colours of Air Bridge, just before the name change to Hunting Cargo Airlines? I cannot seem to find any files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ther were two Air Bridge Vanguard liveries
The early red stripe was only worn by G-APES
The failiar red and black was the other and has had several paints done depicting slight variations including G-APEG who kept her red wings.
There are some BEA basic and BA basci Air Bridge paints as well
So if not in the link Ben kindly posted then it didn't exist

Hi Chaps
What I'm looking for is this particular title variation, here:

Couldn't spot it in the VA packs

Here you go Ben.. I knew it was alive and well somewhere
http://www.cbfsim.org/cbfsim/cbfsBB/vie ... 17&t=13209
You'll find an assortment of stuff down there. The initial release was purely to cover all the VA aircraft.. which, as it happens, covers all the UK registered Vanguards

I then got an itch and did variations on a theme to give our pilots other options. Some of the paints are updates of those included in the release packs ;-)
It wouldn't be quite true to say that if it's not down there it doesn't exist as I have a couple here not uploaded but between the VA packs.. those paints and the ones Garry released.. there can't be very many paints not covered
