Caravelles

I'm after a few Caravelles to fly into my 1966 Heathrow. I've got a list of a few airlines who operated them into LHR but not being a Caravelle expert, I'm unsure which exact variants I need (I think AFG have covered most of them):

Alitalia
Air France
Austrian
Finnair
Iberia
SAS
Swissair

Does anyone know which I am likely to need (and how one tells the difference :xgrin: )

You need to visit HJG, where they are all hosted :-)

Hello Toby,

I tried one of the earlier Caravelles, but the -6R is my favorite because it has thrust reversers. The earlier versions used drag chutes(!) for slowing on landing. As DanKH suggested, go to
simviation.com/hjg/downloads.htm. Lots of good airplanes there, including the Caravelles.

Hi guys,

I think I need a mixture of AI and real aircraft - quite like the Caravelle and might want to fly one personally although yes partly I need to fill LHR 1966 with appropriate AI.

I'll have to ahve a trawl through. The AFG site seemd to redirect to Avsim, but without iamges it was taking quite a while to read all the descriptions to figure out what I need to download. Are they easier to find on HJG?
