Classic British Flight Sim

My favourite is Dundee cake.

Carrot cake for me.

I'll have a slice of Boeing, thank you very much.

See ?

Meanwhile, back in the room (apologies for my part in that), I think someone mentioned a Caravelle. Pretty please it doesn't have/need a paintkit designed by a lunatic? Thanks very much in advance while I tear my hair out on this connie paintjob that I kinda wish I had never started

For sheer elegance, the DH Comet IV leads the field, closely followed by the Caravelle (which used the Comet nose section) with the A340-500 a close third.

Is that true? The nose sections do look similar, but were they actually made by D.H for Sud Aviation / license-built in France, based on D.H.'s Comet design?

Don't forget A321 = Bendy bus ...
Trident ...pretty ? Not after 12 yrs operating them .. leads on to Comet's nose licenced to Sud for the Caravelle . And Caravelle's engine pylons licenced to DH for the Trident [ plaque on each pylon saying so ] .
'Fraid for me it was after 36 yrs ... ' if it's not Boeing , I'm not going ' on my teeshirt .

I have to agree - I don't think the Trident was a particularly attractive plane. Not ugly of course, but not pretty either. Thanks for the info on the Comet nose and Caravelle engine pylons.

Thanks to Dave F, and my apologies to Paul K. I had missed Paul's question altogether. Interesting snippet about the Trident engine pylons, too.

No problem, Mike.
