Re: How about a Twotter - or three?
Hi Tim,
It's been considered a couple of times before and hasn't at this point, been written off. Two things..
First.. is the Twotter a Classic British Aircraft (open to much discussion/argument) and second.. is the currently available model/panel combination suitable?? I've tried the currently available 'Best of' and it's not to my liking. If the real aircraft flies anything like the model, it's pilots should receive commendations!!
Is it Classic and British?? Well, I suppose it could be considered 'a Classic' but is it British.. it's stretching it a bit I think though both John and I are open to discussion ;-)

Re: How about a Twotter - or three?
Hi,
We have discussions like this quite regularly 'behind the scenes' and we do debate aircraft that have had an important impact on British civil aviation and their possible inclusion on the VA fleet. The DC-3 and the Canadair Argonaut are currently the only two non-British aircraft types on the fleet. We have to be completely 'comfortable' when/if we include further non-British types to the fleet. With the Bristol Freighter and DH Heron arriving some time in the hopefully not too distant future there are currently no definate plans afoot for further additions to the fleet. Of the types we have recently discussed, the Twotter was not at the top of the list.
