British operated Dash-7's

Post by VEGAS »

Hi all,

this is one I have been dwindling over this afternoon, namely, British Operated Dash 7's. I was trying to remember how many I used to see come in Manchester without cheating or googling. After a couple of hours I got to the grand total of 3! :think:

British Airways

London City Airways

Brymon


Which looks lovely. Anyone fancy painting the lovely new Milton Shupe creation into this? :rock:

Eddie..

The old 2002 paints are supposed to fit (and do) this model but having dug out the BA Landor paint a couple of days ago.. I was a little, no.. more than a little disappointed. Not sure if anyone will bother with the new model due in 6 weeks or so mate :think: The old paint certainly doesn't inspire me to be seen flying it and thats for sure! :sad:

Hi Eddie

British Midland took over the London City ones as it was a subsidiary and operated them on various routes.

I have tonight downloaded the updated FS9 aircraft from AVSIM which works just fine in FSX. Its a quality piece of freeware.

It would be nice to see it in at least one UK livery. :sad:

If you'd have been lucky enough to be in Brum, you could have included Eurocity Express and BMA.

OK, not an airline.

BAS are based in Cambridge.

Falkland Islands registration - according to Baron Thatcher that's part of Britain.

Spends a good chunk of time around and about Cambridge during 'off-season'.
