The red tip visible on the white rudder of G-AZYW is an artefact of the mapping - either that small bit is red, or the top of the red side is white.

And there is a small area under the front wheel that is the wrong colour to avoid a V-shaped area under the windscreen.

Without white are:

A small bit of tweaking of the flag on the other side of G-ASZJ, and I think will release these as version 0.9 for comment.

Garry,

Thanks for the colour tips - can't tell from the photos that I have seen of G-ASZJ.

It is obvious on G-BAIT which also has part of the engine red and the top edge of the wing.

Hence I assumed that since G-ASZJ had white on the engines, it also had white (or grey?) wings. Could G-ASZJ be a misfit?

Did they have registrations under the wings?


As for dirt, John, not that proficient. Bad enough getting colours, let alone dirty ones! Maybe version 2.

Hi Ian

On that pic of G-ASZJ the wing does appear to be stripped or at least natural;it hard to tell

During the change over quite a few Tridents had the wings stripped before they were repainted.

BEA should have red wings but that could be a misfit or an interim


There would be a registration under the port and probably on top of the starboard but upper wings were being left off by then.

Unlike earlier BEA schemes there was no logo on the wing.

Shame but the little Skyvan plodded arround almost unnoticed so there are few pics to check

I had this problem with the Argosy...guy's take pics of biz jets and exotic airlines rather that Skyvans and Argosys. :crying:

If I were you I would do both..........SZJ with the silver and AIM with the red..but that's your choice.

Sorry I can be much help and I never saw a BEA Scoittish in the flesh

Puppy 1 :lol:

Clean version (will try to add dirt!), DXT3 format.

I'm assuming downloaders will know how to incorporate the aircraft.cfg file.

Puppy 2

Found a couple of last minute changes.
Clean at the moment, DXT3 format.

And after looking at photos of Busy Bee Skyvans (ex BA), I have left the wings white rather than grey. The grey/white colour in the photos is likely to be poor lighting (in Scotland?).
