LMAO :lol:

Bottom line here Ian.. your Manchester looks just great mate. Mine looks positively cr@p by comparison so you're having the last laugh ;-) I'd love to use DM's EGCC but I kept getting FS crashes when turning off the runway and I couldn't afford the time to refly VA flights so it had to go :-(

Looks great Ian!

From my early memories (around 1982), the gate to the left of the terminal, where the 'restaurant' area was in those days, was ALWAYS occupied by a BCal 1-11. That's the gate where the Trident is parked in the last pic of your original post. :)

Thanks all, for your kind words and (some of!) your suggestions :lol: :lol:

That's a good tip, James - I'll reserve that gate for a BCAL 1-11. Actually, there should be one around somewhere...I don't know where it's hiding :think: I'll have to find out where it's gone.

Dave - Don't think I'm going soft, but I might just try ONE copy of Rick's Merchantman as a static to see what the frame rate hit is like. Just for authenticity you understand, not because I'm being bullied!

Did British Midland have much of a presence? Can't see much evidence on Airliners.net, but I'm sure we sometimes positioned up from LHR with BMA so I've put a few aircraft there anyway.

Ian :lol:

Ian, I've got an AI 'BA Cargo' Merchantman here, if you want it...

Pretty sure I had to rustle up the BA scheme myself, which I adapted from Ricks. :think:
Not the best model in the world, but no frame rate hit!

It's the one in this picture.

The Flying Jack is a Viscount. I may have painted that one up as well, I can't remember.
Let me know if you want it.
