Classic British Flight Sim

Not that I've ever disliked BEA FJ in any way.. I'm begining to like it more than.. dare I say it.. BEA RS!

The Comet looks good in just about anything but I'm particularly fond of it wearing FJ

Nice picture of the Comet. My guess that is in FS2004?

Yes matey.. FS2004 FL300/303kias/M0.78 and burning gas like a good'un enroute Faro/LPFR

Unless it's a ship, the Virtavia Islander or Brian Franklins WIP Nimrod.. you can pretty much guarantee all of my screenies will be FS9

Blasphemy!

Red Square is always the daddy.... but I do like FJ on the Trident

Yes.. the T3 is a thing of grace and beauty wearing FJ. I did one flight in 'ZO' recently and changed to RT 'British' (not British Airways) for one flight as I like this on the 732 and TriStar. I couldn't wait for the flight to end so I could get back to FJ again I like RT 'British' but it only really suits little fat ladies like the 732 or monsters like the TriStar/747's.
I knew DM had done a full set of fleet paints for the Comets and couldn't find 'em on this pc so went for a dig in the VA area (Aircraft and Routes) and saw this lovely paint. I was a little disappointed to be honest as I was expecting Airtours to be there but it's not for 'MA'.. the aircraft I'd booked for the flight. That said.. I really like the Comet wearing 'standard' FJ so my disappointment was short lived.

RS is better for me on the Vanguard but FJ better on the Trident.the One-Eleven doesn't go well in either but FJ is better..in my opinion.

I prefer the Comet in RS but it did look smart in FJ...Viscount I like equally in both

Yeh.. odd how some liveries seem to fit and others don't. I like the Merchantmen wearing FJ Cargo though I was never struck on FJ on the pax aircraft. All my AI 1-11's and Trident's wear FJ and I often just fly around LHR in my FJ Bell Jet Ranger admiring them all mixed in with RT VC10's and 741/742's (the odd Golden Speedbird '10) still lurks there too for good measure
You mention the Viscount.. I like that wearing RT too

I have to agree with Ben-there is nothing quite like the Red Square livery.I always felt that the FJ was a bit insipid,sort of non-descript.I think that RS always looked good on the Comet and 1-11.ATB EricT

'Fraid I agree with Dave. This was BEA's attempt to catch up with a style changing world and for me they succeded - much neater than RS

Love this scheme. Heres another snap taken from a flight I some time ago.
