Nice One John

I remember seeing those ladies parked around the back of the old North pier at Gatwick - usually in the early mornings - didnt do they do Flower flights???

Hi Leif

They did CI flower and newspaper/mail flights.... the newspaper/mail for sure were from Gatwick.

I would think the flowers were likely too for the London market :think:

Hi John,

I downloaded the BIA re-paint last and found the markings on the RHS of the fin are mirror image of the LHS

Hi Paul

That is unavoidable with the default DC 3

There is one map for both sides so one side is reversed

That is why there are no wing registrations either.

I think most of the default are like that presumably to get FS to run on as lower spec PC as possible by simplifying the graphics use.

Thanks Garry,

I thought it would be something like that as no one else had commented before me. I'm only a amateur simmer.

Hi Paul

That's also why the default aircraft get avoided like the plague.

John is a very brave man
