Ian -
That is a great find
A bit of mix'n'match and I will have some very nice new planes.
Many thanks.

I downloaded, installed. Tried to fly it from Croydon. Still on ground at 150mph going through Kenley.

Is CYF the one that was mentioned in the Coventry Airport website? that was the last flying one -- came to grief in Madrid I think in a ground loop
accident.

By the way - Thanks to Martin I have had some correspondence with Ito-san - His email was surprising clear in English - he basically gave
permission to publish his models however I am loath to offer the 86 until the FDE problem is corrected. Nothing against his work but he specifies
that there will be no outside interference with his models - so I will wait . Shame because it would be a nice addition to The Ponds growing list
of lost British aircraft. OFFTOPIC

Re: de Havilland DH.86 Express
Well, I've made a reasonable fist of getting an OK FDE by using the .air file and the aircraft.cfg from the Lee Holmes Beta DH86 Zulu and replacing the contacts, views, and flaps bits from Ito-san's original + aliasing DG's Rapide sounds.
Overall result is a lot more believable..... :flying:

Hi Leif
G-ACYF went to Australia and was scrapped in 1944
I'll look up the one you mean....about 1958 I think
