D Day stripes...That's what struck me.......must be lost *-)

But he does say somewhere over the Pacific so I take it he doesn't know where he is :lol:

:lol: That's what comes of being honest...had you said "over the Channel" (being careful not to specify which one), the critics would have been silenced. :hide:
Good pics, of one of my favourite aircraft. :thumbsup: I will get FSX one day, but I'm not in any rush.

Nice pics.

With the placement of the engines I always think the Beau looks as though it's going to thump you with two big fists.... :lol:

I'm just happy mine flies, I don't care where, it's a beaut ship. :)

I'm unhappy that the panel doesn't want to show though, maybe it's gone to the Pacific without me.

I've sent a PM to DaveG, but if any of you blokes known why the panel wants to hide ... feel free.
