I'm not THAT old
I only ever saw a few Vikings - as I recall: Autair at Luton, Eros at Gatwick, and the two German ones at LAP.
And another couple of sites to look at:

Includes G-AGRS in an earlier guise:

Thanks Ian
They are all already painted awaiting the crest and logos
That "earlier" guise isn't...........that was the 1958 livery and is in fact maroon or burgundy and much later than the others
It immediately preceded the Red "E" livery.
I am doing the BEA style..but the lines are different
The later version of that with the extra badges and leading edge of fin in colour
A further mod of that with a solid line replacing the pinstripes
Then the next one that is the red top one.
The last two are already uploaded
So I have three pinstripe and the red top to sort
It is the red top livery that Orion wore over painted.
I have already put out the Eagle pinstripe livery.......with the Hunting Clan titles......it was leased from them

Hi Ian
Just checked out that Eagle link and it contained a beautiful sharp close up pic of the crest that has been holding the Eagle paints up
Many thanks for that link :dance:
So I should be able to sort them out now

S! Garry
Pegasus Airlines
What can I say - but, a million thanks - a Pegasus Viking - just for little ol' me.
She will be my 'default' aircraft, so everytime FS9 fires up there she is - looking beautiful, and all ready to go.
Thanks again - am now one Very Happy Highlander.
Regards
John
