Photobucket will do the job as well
There are some of us who are eagerly awaiting your efforts
I remember seeing the then Derby Airways Marathon at Luton in the
very early 60s - fell totally in love with it
Cheers

Oh, I didn't think this would stir up much intere but thanks folks.
Gary thanks for the offer that's very decent of you, but D P has kindly offered and I'm going to post images up in Gallery in a few mins time.
I'm too young to have ever seen a Marathon but my father knows the aircraft very well.
Shame that the one at Nagoya isn't around still, would have been nice to have had that one home.
There is a bit of work to do still on this project and I can't give any firm release date yet but I guess it hopefully won't be too long
Regards

hey Tek
I m assuming the one at Nagoya you speak of is the ANA one - as I said
on the othe thread - I trawled some photos of it while looking for information for the dove and the 748
And as far as intrest goes your joking - prbably be a large hit around here

Re: woodley
I guess I could drop these guys a line but the work this other chap has done impressed me due to the attention to detail he's employed in previous work. The only prob is that there's nothing definite been agreed.
BrianW-
I'm not certain you want to get into this FDE with me as you may regret it. I am fully loaded regarding this and the questions will flow.
However, if you're ok with this then I'd be more than happy for assistance.
Most of the dynamics are fine and the aircraft flies comfortably but aerodynamics is such a huge subject and terminology varies a bit.
I've been using an extremely old book on aerodynamics to fathom out some aspects and reference certain harder to find items.
It's never going to be spot on and too much messing around can mess things up
I'd rather do things via private email please as my net connection is sooo slow
cheers
