Thanks for the comments chaps......the colour is rather ..'er different I know but as a first complete repaint I am rather chuffed with it...

Currently there are 17 Downloads at 'The Pond, 200 at 'All Nodes and 170 at Avsim.....nearly 400 so far.... :shock:

The repaint is for FS2004 (not having FSX I cannot say whether it works there or not :roll: )

As regards the Lancashire Aircraft link with the Prospector.....

The Rapide was owned by the Lancashire Aircraft Corporation as opposed to the Lancashire Aircraft Company who bought the rights and shares from Edgar Percival to assemble the unusual aircraft (EP 9) referred to.

Regards.

N.B. The next repaint will not be such a dire colour chaps...

Thanks Brian for the clarification - Lancaster Aviation

:redface:
Jeeze I was having a blonde moment honestly. EP9 -- yes well if I had thought about it the EP would have been a giveaway - especially as I spent so much of my early teens playing (and occasionally working) in a Hangar that was owned by Percival Aircraft at EGGW.

Leif - slinking off feeling a right pratt

BTW All other comments aside I rather like the paint colour

I seem to remember Austin A-35/40's in that sort of colour.....or more accurately I don't seem to be able to forget

Perhaps thought the mists of time play tricks with me
