Hi Tekman
Before you finalise the release of this little beauty.. would it be possible for you to 'tone down' that darned aerial wire please ;-)

Wow, you should have made that into a competition Tek, I do not think I have ever come across that aircraft ever before and I thought I was a bit of an 'expert' on post-war British aviation.Very nice model of a very pretty aircraft. It seems it both flew and was scrapped in the same year 1947 and only two were made...another British aviation sucsess story then ;-)

Ha ha ha ha, actually Dave I’m way ahead of you, I changed that cable a week or so ago, just too lazy to create new screenshots , so no worries there then

Tis a bit of an oddball one this and damn hard to get info on but had some very specialised help with this though never found a cockpit photo so had to improvise a bit which I really don't like doing but often it's very difficult to find this sort of detail especially on the more obscure types

just a little footnote to the year the Concordia was scrapped. It was in 1948 but still it didn't have a very long life and yes I agree a pretty little airliner

Well done that man ;-)
Funny you know.. I was looking through a pile of books today looking for info on something totally different but came across an aircraft that looked just like that but it wasn't one :o Can I find that picture again.. you bet I can't :roll:

I was about to post that it bears more than a passing resemblance to the Scandia

Dag nab it.. nope. :-( The tail looked very much like that too. This is YOUR fault Mr Russell

Right, what exactly did I look in today :think:
:doho: EDIT.. found the picture I was thinking of and now, the resemblance between the two isn't so pronounced. It was the AW Apollo :o Must be something about that tail as the rest of the aircraft looks nothing like the Concordia
