Traffic on the A34 is a little heavy

Actually if there was a decent Apache I would be tempted to ask Peter to finish the cycle
I remember it taxing up at LFC in the early 60s.

If I remember correctly, Bill Lyons did a Apache for FS2004.

Another nice Auster to look forward too

He did indeed Martin. The file is still kicking around at Flightsim.com - cc7pa23f.zip for any budding painters

PZE appeared in several different schemes over the years including one with the original crest and then with the square emblem

The Automobile Association also owned the Gipsy Moth G-AAAA and used to deliver messages sometimes and perhaps, small componants by meeting a patrol man and throwing it out in a flagged cannister.

Bill Lyons models can be idiosyncratic in the use of textures, which can make them very difficult to paint. There is a black and white one by Leon Louis for the Apache, so it depends what detailing is required for the AA.

Wasn't G-AAAA originally owned by Sir Geoffrey de H himself? I read that he got an agents discount from the sales department when he bought it, no freebies for the boss in de Havillands.

Always wondered if it had a red or maroon colour scheme when he owned it. I've seen a few pictures in the standard Moth tome, Ace Chrissie present, but they are all b&W of course.

Just to get it back on thread

Dave has just published the public version

Just the Red and White Alpine presently but Peter W is working on half a dozen paints for it including G-APAA and the Sally Bash Australian paint.

Did I read correctly, that the Auster at the start of the thread has been released?

[DispatchDragon]

Yes AD the Apline has been released

HOWEVER the paints (G-APAA the AA Version) will be released in the next day or so

Peter W normally does the initial paints using the beta version but doesnt release until Dave has published the final version (which he just did) so at present only G-ANXC the red and cream paint is available, but patience the AA paint and others are on the way.
