Thanks for that link.....still one of my most favoured air transport in FS9. You can't beat the little gems that Rick did for us all to enjoy....old they may be but they are often used by me and many others I know.... we can all dream of an updated version......that would be VERY nice if it were to happen someday. :cheers:

Regards

As you say Garry, always nice to know these types are still thought of. :)

There was a nice thread a while ago on the Andover, over on UKAR.

A lot of the more modern types are subjected to more of a spotter type thread of the Boeing versus Airbus type.

At least when these type come up they tend to be by folks of a certain age that had real world experience and even subjected to the discomfort and noise that came with such taircraft of the time have a great affection for them.

All well worth a read.
