Classic British Flight Sim

This old lady popped into EGCC for a wee while today. Making a change from the Military visitors.

Made me think how many UK operators actually used these in a civilian role. I can only think of the Irish Air Contractors off the top of my head.

Maybe Garry will know.







The last shot is no way near the UK. Its far too clean!..

Nice Eddie

HeavyLift used them...overseas registered

That's a little unusual in that it's a military built Herk

Ah. Heavylift. They had crossed my mind but I never knew they actually used em.

Were they liveried up?

Yep

Interesting. Cheers for that mate.

2 Minute response!

Your slowing down in your old age Garry.

Actually.my first link didn't work so it slowed me up

Is that the CS Herk??

Everygreen used a few ex mil Herks not that many can tell the difference......apart from always being the longer Herks, the civil version did not have parachute doors or the lower cockpit windows.

Yes it's the CS herk.

I would be the first to admit of not knowing the difference.

Even though this is a Government/military opertaed aeroplane it is a 'civl' Herk

Note the lack of lower cockpit windows

I presume then, you won't be aware of the passenger Herk

Only two, both done for Merpati and now with the Indonesian Air Force

Same aircraft in Air Force service has gained the lower cockpit windows.....I guess it's just a case of swapping standard panels.
