Afternoon,

Does anyone know of a good Firefly trainer model? Have had a look at fft67.zip, just wondered if there was anything else about.

Regards,

Nick

That's the one I've got Nick.
Don't know of any other off hand. Sorry.

If it is of any interest Nick, I have it doing TNG quite happily at Catterick/Marne Barracks - brought thr old place back to life.

I've created an authentic panel for it but not yet published it as I 've not quite finished programming the light switches!

Is that a "proper" Firefly with a big rorty Griffon in it and flown by the Navy,or is it something you Brylcreem Boys have been keeping a secret? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:.

If it's a proper one then AH's WB771 tribute (yes it's a freebie) is pretty
good although it's an FR.5 and not a trainer version.

Carry on chaps.

Er... aren't we talking about the modern trainer (Slingsby T67)? Rather than the ratta-tat-tat (Fairey!)?

Yes Vixus.. that is the point both Mark and I missed (at least I did!!). Nick did mention the Firefly 'Trainer' in his initial post :wink:

Simple mistake, the proper Firefly was available in a trainer variant
y'know

http://www.fleetairarmarchive.net/aircraft/Firefly.htm

anyways, the AH one don't really work in fs9, model animations etc don't,
missing prop etc. and at the mo' Bazzar (of AH) doesn't have plans to upgrade it :sad:

Now as to this plastic Slingsby thingie, I wonder if it sheds its' canopy while inverted like wot the real one does :lol:

ttfn
