S-51's should all be painted blue, have RN markings and be called Dragonfly! :lol:

Nice job Rui though I've never been a great fan of BEA 'Pin' livery ;)

Thank You Dave ! I'm a huge BEA fan myself, and love the classic BEA schemes, my favorite being the red BEA square,with blackstripe and red wings !
Now that was bold he!?
If I'm allowed to show, heres a little preview of some BEA items I have in my collection ;)

As with films, if theres a BEA plane showing, I buy it ! Like for instance,
Innocents in Paris ( BEA AS57)
and Hot Millions ( BEA Trident) ;)

Hi Rui :hello:

Yes.. BEA RS is for many (me included) the most iconic of all BEA liveries and most if not all aircraft that wore it looked good.. the Viscount and Trident being no exception ;) Your analogue sound/view for TV used to be different to ours over here but if you have satellite TV and can receive ITV4.. that's a good channel to watch for old 60's TV series like 'The Saint' which often feature (albeit in passing) RS Vanguards and Tridents as well as Golden Speedbird VC10's. It's worth watching them time and time again just to get a brief glimpse of what was then, the pinnacle of our aviation industry ;)
