Classic British Flight Sim

Remember B707-420 G-APFD ?

For those interested we (at HJG) have just today released a brand new repaint of this particular aircraft in 1978 AIR MAURITIUS livery .... beautifully done my mastercraftsman Tony MADGE.

See the HJG B707-420 downloads section on the HJG website .... I'm not sure but I think this particular aircraft was a BOAC/BRITISH AIRWAYS/AIRTOURS original prior her AIR MAURITIUS lease.

Also .... for those whom enjoy flying Ben HARTMANN's beautiful hybrid repaints of NATO E3 aircraft. We have just today resolved a model problem which previously caused aircraft registrations to erroneously display on the inboard surfaces of both radome pylons.

A new E3 Aircraft Base Pack has been uploaded to the E3 downloads section of the HJG website and should resolve the abovementioned prooblem .... please update your models accordingly !

Enjoy

Hi Mark

A nice addition thanks to Tony

G-APFD, an original BOAC aircraft was still with BA Airtours at this time.

It was used by Air Mauritius do a once a week service at the end of which it had maintenance and was transferred to Gatwick for the bucket and spade trips over the weekend.

On the Monday it positioned back to Heathrow and the cycle continued.

G-APFD was later replaced by G-ARWD, also in full Air Mauritius livery.

During the time mentioned above it was in full Air Mautirtius livery and they had first shout on it's use.

Mark, the E-3 basepack is still showing an April date, is that correct?

Thanks to all, as ever, for this great selection of repaints.

"YES" .... that's correct .... I think it still reads April 21st .... but .... I understand the models inside have been switched/fixed or whatever
