Tony,
Thanks for the reply. One of those missing is HLG, the one that crashed. On the Aircraft and routes section there is a thread I started called VA repaints. The C4 has quite a few. Somebody can correct me if I am wrong but I think most were BOAC at the start before being sold to Airlines like BMI.

G-ALHT,LHJ,LHG,LHK In colour
VP-KOI. In colour
LHK,LHY,LHG. in black and white, Overseas Airways but colour available in same markings on LHK for the latter 2.

C-4 paintkit is on Flightsim.com: c4_paint.zip

The C-4 were ex-BOAC. Most of the ones that I saw were the others in the series not mentioned by simondix since they belonged to Air Links operating out of Gatwick. Those belonging to Derby Aviation/British Midland never ventured my way.

Probably the most seen one was G-ALHJ which was parked in the BOAC maintenance area for many years.

Hi Tony,

Sorry mate, pass that note to me. If thats the case then I take full responsibilty, so feel free to hurl a torrent of insults my way anytime you like.

I was'nt aware that Jens had done that particular paintjob (Hotel Golf). Sorry for wasting your time.

Although the two hours work have'nt been wasted IMHO. It looks terrific!

Thank you.

All practise mate....so no foul....I think Jens has done Hotel Sierra but its no hardship to change the S to a G....

Looks luvly in FSX....and you are aware that the last screenie is Jens Paint and not my feeble attempt ain't ya....

Indeed I am matey.

I actually thought that the BM scheme was a little darker blue than illustrated in Jens paint. I was thinking yours was nearer to the mark. Could be wrong though. :think:

Tony,

Only 2 hours :o

It would have taken me 22 hours to get that far - what is your secret? :tab:
