On my hunt for ex RN aircraft I came across this little beauty. We used to know them as Sea Princes and they were usually in silver and dayglow red livery. They were used as training aircraft for navigators and clipper trips for the lucky or exalted ones :roll: .
Unfortunately it comes with the standard default panel so I took the liberty of putting the Dove panel in...........hope you don't mind guys :redface:
There is an interesting history included as apdf file of the aircrafts use with the RAF in Germany.

G'Day Dave, thanks for that. I found a link recommending the varsity panel and am giving it a go. So many switches, might be just too much for a simple "Grubber". :think:
We have a guy here in charge of our Ambo comms equipment by the name of Melvyn Beckhurst, he was a radio mech back in the 70's and spent a bit of time with us wafus at Culdrose. Ring any bells?

Rgr that mate

Sadly, I was your 'sea going' variety and an operator not a mech. You never know though.. we have a wide range of viewers here so perhaps that name may ring a bell

Don't worry too much about the Varsity panel. There are quite a few switches but you can jump in and fly without any nasty surprises
