This has been in the pipeline since last year and hopefully it will be out in time for the 70th Anniversary this autumn.

Here's a movie of the work so far:

I used the original reg at the start of the movie. For the current day I used G-ISLA and G-EDEN and named the aircraft FIFE and ANGUS.

G-EDEN was a SOCATA TB series light aeroplane......

We are about reality here...especially in this section

Must admit I didn't check to see if G-EDEN had already been allocated. Of course neither of these machines still exist: the S.20 was 're-cycled' and the S.21 was written-off following bombing at Poole harbour (I think).

G- ISLA was an Islander

What does it matter if G-EDEN or G-ISLA had been used.the names are wrong as well

These two were G-ADHJ and G-ADHK Mercury and Mayo.....end of.

Our reputation is based on our dedication to historic fact as close as can be modelled

It sounds as though your reputation is based on being overly obsessed with minutia.

Let’s remember that Flight Simulator is a ‘game’ enjoyed by tens of thousands of people.

The fact that the administrators of this forum have allowed the above comment to be displayed for a day now would appear to indicate that they condone unnecessary product bashing .... end of.
