may i ask if any of the repainters might consider painting the fokker 28 in Air Ontario colours. i know this is a site for british aircraft, but canada is part of the british commonwealth. we even have the queen on our money. also there id flag on the aircraft has the unionjack on it. ok i'am stretching it a bit. :whistle:

Hmm :think:

This is neither a CB aircraft or airline :tuttut: .........but I'll leave it here.

But it was pushed around the sky by British engines and wasnt the wing built in Ulster?

Hi Leif

I have used that argument myself..... It is 60 per cent British

But it is not classed as such here.

Even a Canadian licence built modified British aircraft with British engines does not count (CL-44).

Notice though I did leave it here

A lot of the systems were British and as Leif mentioned Shorts made wings and other parts.

I've just finished a couple of repaints of the F28, and will have a look to see if I can find some decent photos of it. That would be the red and white scheme, not any Canadian Airlines scheme, of course. I seem to remember that the cheatline slopes up, which is always awkward to paint and get a good line, but as I say, I might consider it. My next repaint will be the f28-1000 which Air UK used on the Glasgow Amsterdam service, but that shouldnt take too long since I already have the layered files.
