Lovely job John (er.. Garry) Never spent so much time in the DC3's as I do now flying the lovely Air Anglia AGJV

Hi Dave,

Well I have to admit Garry has sort of inspired me to get off my backside and do some painting myself rather than keep asking. Garry has given me a lot of help with tips and tricks to which I am truly grateful. A long way to go and a lot of rough edges to polish off before I reach his quality. Glad you like the Air Anglia repaint.

I might be being thick here but did BMI fly the DC-3? Looks nice anyway


James

They are very good as the default Dak is not an easy one to get a decent paint on.

I've only done the odd nudge here and there....down to John in the end.

Garry

James..

Yes.. British Midland did use DC3's at some point as did most UK airlines. Those are authentic liveries No EUJet though I'm afraid :-$

Hi James

But they weren't BMI then just Derby Aviation then Derby Airways and finally British Midland

As Dave B says genuine....anything you see here should be genuine even if at times a little surprising or unusual

Also as Dave point out the Dakota was widely used.

Eagle Airways/British Eagle was one of the very few larger airlines from that time that didn't, most others did and in fact many either started out with the Dak or after a year of so on ad hoc taxi/charter work with Rapides or similar expanded into a full airline when they introduced the Dak.

Apart from being a useful type it was also very cheap due to the large numbers of ex military. Later good well maintained machines were picked up by the independents when BEA sold off their fleet.

Garry

they look stunning

Great Stuff John

Cambrian next????

BTW amongst the photos that David Welch gave is GANTD in Derby colours
which are identical to the the ones you have it painted in for BMA except
it says of course Derby Airways and has a DA on the tail in the same style as BM


If your going to keep doing this can I make a request for a non british
DC3 operator? Academy Aviation out of Griffin Georgia they flew a bunch
of them as well as the doomed Falcon Air Carvair

How low will you go asking the CEO of Classic British Flight Services to do a non British paint for you :-$ I think he has quite enough on his hands doing all the British liveries!! That's the reason he's doing them btw.. not because he loves painting DC3's but like me, he likes to fly our fleet with the correct livery/reg :dance:
